West Virginia's Family Guide

Sep. 12th - Dec. 5th

Join us Tuesdays and/or Thursdays from 4:30am-6:00pm.

Recommended for kids aged 10-17

Minimum Required Skills
No experience needed!

Students will learn basic Spanish skills. The exact curriculum will depend on the skills, needs and interests of the enrolled students and will likely include:
- the alphabet
- greetings
- various uses of numbers
- simple yes or no questions and answers
- simple information seeking questions, and
- vocabulary that helps them express themselves on topics that are relevant to their life.

The curriculum is customized to the existing skills and knowledge of the students so if your student has done some Spanish in the past, they will work on learning new vocabulary while practicing grammatical concepts they are reviewing and learning new grammatical concepts with vocabulary they already know

For students who are taking this class to only fulfill their own desire to learn Spanish, the enrichment option offers that experience. For students who are also trying to fulfill a homeschool World Language requirement, the "for credit" add-on option will fulfill this requirement in most states. Please contact us if your state has very specific requirements and we will let you know if we can fulfill them. For credit students will receive a syllabus, graded assignments and assessments and a certificate of completion with covered Standards of Learning and grades notated on the "back". If digital versions of these are not acceptable, please communicate that to me and I can snail mail them to you.

This class meets via Zoom.

Doing so in your own home, at your own pace.\r\n\r\nWhether you live in a time zone that makes attending a live Digital Media Academy course difficult, or you want the freedom to move more quickly or slowly through the material, Digital Media Academy\'s self-paced digital media and technology courses might be just what you\'re looking for.\r\n\r\nDeveloped by industry and curriculum experts, and tested and proven by over 500,000 students throughout the past 20 years, these courses allow young learners to explore their passions and develop 21st century skills.\r\n\r\nAlthough these courses have traditionally been delivered live and in-person on North America\'s most prestigious university campuses, the self-paced format allows students aged 5 to 18 the world over to experience Digital Media Academy\'s unique educational offerings.\r\n\r\nNot only that, but after the great success of the spring break virtual camp scholarship program, Digital Media Academy is offering Ten Thousand FULL scholarships for talented students who would benefit from a self-paced learning experience.\r\n\r\nWhy Self-Paced Learning?\r\n\r\nStudies have shown that when students are given the ability to decide for themselves how much time to spend learning new material, they perform better because they are able to focus their efforts on concepts they find personally challenging.\r\n\r\nDigital Media Academy recognizes the advantage of a self-paced format not only for student performance, but for accessibility as well. Knowing that not every student lives close to a campus where courses are offered, or even in a convenient time zone to attend a virtual course, Digital Media Academy wanted to offer the same high quality of digital media and technology education that has been delivered live for the past 20 years in a format that would ensure as many young learners as possible would have access to it.\r\n\r\nThe self-paced format allows learners of all backgrounds to enrich their learning, explore potential career paths, ignite their passion and build a foundation of knowledge and skills that are not only exciting but in-demand.\r\n\r\nWhat to Expect from a Self-Paced Tech Course at Digital Media Academy\r\n\r\nWith over self-paced 30 courses available across 6 categories, there is sure to be something that piques the interest of the young learner in your life. Courses are available for ages 5-8, 9-12 and 13-18, in the following categories:\r\n\r\nDigital Storytelling\r\nGame Development\r\nCreative Design\r\nComputer Science + AI\r\nRobotics + Engineering\r\nBusiness + Entrepreneurship\r\nEach course has 5 or 6 modules, and requires an average of 12-15 hours to complete. While participants are given three months to work through the course at their own pace, a particularly motivated learner could complete a course in a matter of days. It all depends on the learner\'s schedule, preferences and needs.\r\n\r\nNo special equipment is required, and if a participant has questions, they can ask a virtual teacher. Learning and progress will be assessed through automated quizzes and assignments.\r\n\r\nUpon completion of a course, learners will receive certificates demonstrating their achievement, which include the seal of alignment with the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE).\r\n\r\nWho Should Consider a Self-Paced Course?\r\n\r\nDigital Media Academy\'s courses enhance students\' academic opportunities by offering research-based, 21st century learning in areas like game design, coding, animation, and other subjects that aren\'t always comprehensively covered in school.\r\n\r\nOur self-paced courses are designed for young learners aged 5 to 18 with an aptitude for digital media or tech subjects who would benefit from gaining a foundation of understanding in that subject.\r\n\r\nCourse options include:\r\n\r\nAges 9-12:\r\n\r\nEncryption, Cyphers and Digital Detectives\r\nDesign Challenges\r\nFun With Robots\r\nAnd more\r\nAges 13-18:\r\n\r\nApp Designer Studio\r\nIntroduction to 3D Modeling in Tinkercard\r\nShow and Tell: Script and Storyboard\r\nAnd more\r\nDo you know a self-motivated young learner whose interest might be sparked by an engaging digital media or technology foundation course offered by a certified, trusted and proven education institution?\r\n\r\nDon\'t miss this opportunity to inspire them!
