Playing Favorites

I know that as teachers we are not supposed to play favorites, but I just can't help it.  Digital Communication Tools has become one of my favorite classes that I've ever taught!  This class allows me to learn right along with the students the current technology tools that are available.  My most recent find is free tools to create infographics.  I could get lost for hours in the creation of these visual graphics.  As my students have worked on their assessment the last two days, it's been so quiet in the room that you could hear a pin drop.  They are deep in thought & creation.  I can't wait to see their final results!!!  Below is my first attempt at creating my own infographic using easel.ly.  This one is all about one of my favorites, Digital Communication Tools, at Valley High School.  Check back to see the students' work that I share.  They are currently creating an infographic as our unit assessment on Digital Citizenship.

Social Responsibility - Fall 2012

Social responsibility refers to the duty of a business to contribute to the well-being of a community.  Ways that businesses make sure they are socially responsible are by enacting policies and procedures to protect our environment & ensure worker safety, being sensitive to workplace diversity, and contributing the well being of individuals through employee wellness.  See student websites on these topics below.

• Environmental Protection
• Workplace Diversity 
• Job Safety 
• Employee Wellness 

Further, a socially responsible business engages in ethical business practics.  Ethics are principles of morality or rules of conduct.  Students have also created websites on this topic.   

• Business Ethics 

Finally, the government plays a role in ensuring that businesses are socially responsible.  In fact, government is our biggest business. The government oversees protection activities  regulation, and provides public assistance.  Students created websites on two ways the government is involved in protecting consumers: through the protection of intellectual property & unfair business practices.   

• Intellectual Property &
• Unfair Business Practices
