Students can learn how to create books.  
Click on www.TinyURL.com/ShowYourWork to see one of the ebooks I've produced.  


-- CreateSpace:  I can show students how to create their own books and get published.  The cost is "free" and the book is available on Amazon.
The webpage is www.TinyURL.com/ShowYourWork1    



-- Web design:  I can show students how to use Google Sites to make a free webspace.
-- Gaming:  I have designed an app.  I hired someone in India to make the app, but I can show students how to design an app.
I have used "hour of code" with some students.  https://code.org/learn  
--- Photoshop:  I have basic cropping and layering experience.  I can also show students how to use Paint and GIMP and other free programs
-- Photo manipulation, cropping and montage:  BingBanners.com has a free online design center that allows students to create posters.  This is an essential element of Photoshop and the online design center is free to use for anyone with open internet.

-- Blogging:  Blogger.com uses the student's gmail account to build a portfolio.  High Tech High (San Diego high school) uses free websites to let students show their work.  You can see an example of one of these digital portfolios at  www.Tinyurl.com/exampleDP.     


Using the Internet to build skills in math and science
Poster-making:  Combining a photo with a quote is an artform on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.  Students learn how to use their time effectively to boost their hits.  Math and science are taught by using the skills that students have acquired on the Internet.
