Career Slideshow
For this part of the project, you will be creating a Voki and a slideshow to show what you have learned about your chosen occupation. Both of these need to be embedded into a blog post titled "My Future Career". The Voki should be posted above the slideshow, but they should be in the same post.

__**For the Voki:**__ Create a Voki that in some way resembles the "look" of your chosen occupation. The Voki should introduce you and state your chosen occupation. Here is a sample script - you can use it if you want... "Hi, my name is _" (first name only) "In the future, I'd be interested in being a ___" (occupation title)__ __"Here is some more information about that career"__

Each slide should contain a short piece of information about; 1.what kinds of things you would do in that job (this should make up most of your slides) 2. where you can do that job (one or two slides) 3. how much that job might pay (one slide) 4. what kind of training/education/experience you need for that job (at least 2 slides) 5. The final slide should be a picture of you, and it should be a narrated slide where you record yourself reading the portion of your career exploration that explains why you would like a job like this or think you would be good at a job like this. Remember, no more than 5 words per slide.
 * For the Slideshow:**__ You will be using the information you entered into the Occupation Exploration assignment this week. The title slide should be the title of the occupation. The slides should have pictures of things relating to that occupation (pictures of the working environment, people who are doing that work, things that are created in that job, etc.).

Career Exploration 4/24/12
Main Question: // WHAT KIND OF EDUCATION/TRAINING DO YOU NEED TO GET THE KIND OF JOB YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE? //

To answer this question you will be doing several things.

1st - explore the kinds of careers and salaries you might be interested in. There are several ways we will do this - the first is by taking some surveys to find out what you might be interested in and what you might have an //aptitude// for. You will do this at AKCIS.

There will be lots of other info at the AKCIS site. Also, here are some sites to look at: CareerBuilder.com Careers.org A-Z List of Careers CareerZone Kids.gov - a list of links for helping kids look at possible career choices About.com Jobs and Careers

2nd - Focus on one particular career you might be interested in (we won't hold you to it if you change your mind later - this is an exploration!). Make sure to let Ms. Weisz know which one you will be focusing on.
