\"\"THIS VIDEO EXPLAINS TODAY'S EXPECTATIONS!<\/a><\/p>\n

Today's to-do list includes the following items:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Warm-Up:\u00a0<\/strong>\n
      \n
    1. 2024-04-03 Warm-Up: Why Are You Here?<\/a>\n
        \n
      1. Grading Rubric:
        \n\n\n\n\n
        2 pts<\/td>\nTake a moment to use your best grammar and spelling.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
        3 pts<\/td>\nAnswer the following questions:
        \n\"Why did you pick your major?\"
        \n\"What do you want to accomplish in Technology Concepts?\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/li>\n
      2. 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.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
      3. Monthly Incentives<\/strong>\n
          \n
        1. Monthly Media Arts Incentive:<\/strong>\n
            \n
          1. \"Arcade Day\" at the end of the month.\n
              \n
            1. April's Arcade Day is scheduled for 04\/30\/2024.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
            2. Students remain eligible unless a Notice of Concern has been earned that month for grades or behavior, though a student who missed out from low grades can earn back their Arcade Day privileges if they bring their grade back up.\n
                \n
              1. Check SchoolMax - if your avg is 70% or above, you're probably eligible.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
              2. Syllabus<\/strong>\n
                  \n
                1. You will be held accountable for your behavior and your work (or lack thereof).<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
                2. Q4 Project 1, Due 04-12<\/strong>\n
                    \n
                  1. There will be four (4) projects due this Quarter, spaced roughly 2 weeks apart.\n
                      \n
                    1. [It was found that while three (3) projects gave more time, a low grade on one project wrecked the average for the Quarter.]<\/li>\n
                    2. [It was also found that while five (5) projects made certain that no one project could ruin an average, there was little time to get anything done.]<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
                    3. While students in this class will usually get to choose which projects they want to do<\/a>, there are some non-negotiable activities mandated by PGCPS.<\/li>\n
                    4. Everyone's Project 1 for this Quarter must be one of the \"Core\" projects in the top left section. For your convenience, direct links are shared below:\n
                        \n
                      1. Digital Citizenship 1: Netiquette<\/a><\/li>\n
                      2. Digital Citizenship 2: Fact Checking<\/a><\/li>\n
                      3. Copyright and Creative Commons<\/a><\/li>\n
                      4. Digital Citizenship 4: Interland Review<\/a><\/li>\n
                      5. Media Arts majors who are taking this course must hand in a NEW Core project, not one they handed in for Media Arts.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
                      6. Mr. Smith will introduce software and techniques over the next few days to help students do their best on this and other projects.<\/li>\n
                      7. Complete Pre-Production By 04-03!<\/strong>\n
                          \n
                        1. \"Those who fail to plan plan to fail.\"<\/li>\n
                        2. Planning out and prepping for the production phase makes everything else easier.<\/li>\n
                        3. For a beginning digital artist, every 1 minute of pre-production can easily save 5 minutes of post-production, if not more. Being lazy on this step requires more work later. Who wants to do more work?\n
                            \n
                          1. (While more experience can always bring that ratio down, it never<\/em> reaches 1:1.)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
                          2. Complete Production By 04-05!<\/strong>\n
                              \n
                            1. This step should take the least amount of time. Most of your work for most projects should be pre- or post-production.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
                            2. Complete And Hand In Post-Production By 04-09!<\/strong>\n
                                \n
                              1. This is when you hand in your work, not when you start your post-production.<\/li>\n
                              2. Students who wait until the day a project is due tend to run into last minute problems that can't be fixed in a day.<\/li>\n
                              3. When in doubt, export what you have and hand it in. An unfinished but viewable project will always earn more points than an unviewable or late project!<\/em><\/li>\n
                              4. Projects are 100 point Classwork grades, and are not eligible for late submission.<\/em>\n
                                  \n
                                1. Projects are<\/strong> eligible for re-submission, but only once and with a limited window. These details are covered in the syllabus<\/a> and will be reviewed in more detail after Critique Day.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
                                2. \"Put Out Fires\" Day is 04-12!<\/strong>\n
                                    \n
                                  1. Ideally this is a day to begin work on Project 2. It is built in as a day to deal with emergencies that happened while working on Project 1.<\/li>\n
                                  2. If you are beginning Project 1 today, you are going to have a rushed, incomplete project.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
                                  3. Critique Day: 04-16!<\/strong>\n
                                      \n
                                    1. The work that's handed in will be shown to the rest of the class, and students will be asked to critique the work of their peers.<\/li>\n
                                    2. Every student will be expected to critique a minimum of ten (10) student-submitted projects, with additional critiques scored as extra credit.\n
                                        \n
                                      1. Each critique can earn up to three (3) points.\n
                                          \n
                                        1. One point for meaningful positive feedback<\/em>.<\/li>\n
                                        2. One point for actionable constructive feedback<\/em>.<\/li>\n
                                        3. One point for the feedback being specific to the project<\/em> being critiqued. (\"Good job!\" is not specific feedback!)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
                                        4. Critiques are a 30 point Assessment grade and are not eligible for re-submission or late submission.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
                                        5. Q4 Project 2<\/strong>: Student Choice<\/a>, Due 04-26\n
                                            \n

                                                \n
                                              1. 05-23: Pre-Production<\/li>\n
                                              2. 05-28: Production<\/li>\n
                                              3. 05-30: Post-Production & Arcade Day<\/li>\n

                                              5. Exit Ticket<\/strong>\n
                                                  \n
                                                1. 2024-04-03 to 04-05 Exit Ticket<\/a><\/li>\n
                                                2. Every Exit Ticket will ask the same two questions:\n
                                                    \n
                                                  1. What did you accomplish in Media Arts (Technology Concepts) this week?<\/em><\/li>\n
                                                  2. What did you learn in Media Arts (Technology Concepts) this week?<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
                                                  3. Exit Tickets will almost always be submitted through Canvas.<\/li>\n
                                                  4. Students are expected to have meaningful answers for both questions. An answer of \"I didn't learn anything\" might be honest, but it implies that off-task behavior took place.<\/li>\n
                                                  5. Proofreading answers is an important part of any written assignment, and grades will reflect a failure to do so.<\/li>\n
                                                  6. Exit Tickets are always 10 point Classwork grades and not eligible for late submission or re-submission. They are due during the last 10 minutes of the last class of the week.
                                                    \n<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
