Tech Concepts, 05-20-2026 – Week 4

Published on

No video today, as the work is a continuation of what we did on Monday and the previous Thursday.

  1. Objective:
    1. Students will continue work on their 2nd multi-day project of the course.
  2. Warm-Up Quiz 2026-05-20: Moving Camera Shots
    1. Warm-Ups are usually a 5 point Independent Work grade if a written response is expected, or a 5 point Assessment grade if the Warm-Up is a quiz. They are due at the start of class and not eligible for late submission or re-submission.
  3. Announcements:
    1. BACK UP ALL WORK YOU VALUE TO GOOGLE DRIVE!
      1. "I couldn't work from home" is an admission of poor planning, not a viable excuse. Make sure everything you care to keep is where you can access it.

      3 pts It is clear that the student is following the rubric for their chosen project, even if they have not yet met all of the criteria.
      1. Even numbered Exit Ticket Rubrics will vary, and are included with the project information.
      2. NOTE: Links that do not show any content and files that cannot be opened do not count towards the completion of this assignment. Sharing the work with the rest of the class is ESSENTIAL for getting a grade above a zero.
      3. Feedback from the critiques is provided in the Canvas assignment for that project.
      4. Projects are eligible for re-submission, but only once. They must be resubmitted using the same form as before, and no later than 10 days after feedback has been shared with them in Canvas. The last project of each Quarter is not eligible for re-submission due to its proximity to the end of the Quarter!
      5. Deadlines for future projects are not adjusted. Students are encouraged to not put off starting Project 4 because they've decided to work on redoing Project 3 from scratch.
