Digital Destinations in Science - Elective DDIS
is a project-based learning course in which students will research a variety of destinations and report their information
to the class through the use of technology. Students will be assigned both group and individual projects to complete. A connection
between the destination and science must be made by the learner. As an example, a destination of Hiroshima could produce a
variety of information being reported from the physics behind the atom bomb to the biology of radiation sickness, to the long-term
effects of exposure to radiation. Students will be encouraged to research areas of personal interest and report their findings
to the class using powerpoint, movies, graphic novels or by any other technical means. Grades are based
on: Projects, Exams, Tests - 40% Class Participation - 40% Written
Work - 20% The course will start with a discussion about avoiding plagiarism and copyright infringement. Next
we will explore using Flip video cameras to develop our filming techniques. We will progress to using software to create graphic
novels and short movies before beginning our first projects.
