Welcome to the Freedom High School House of Business and Technology!

Our department offers innovative and relevant courses that prepare students for success!

What am I thankful for? A great group of business teachers whom I am privileged to work with! We work hard everyday to mentor and build relationships with our students - as evidenced by Mrs. Fastenberg's 3rd block "Friendsgiving" celebration today.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Today in AI class: We learned how neural networks are trained by creating a dataset - we drew cars to "train the machine". We used Google's Quick Draw to see how machine learning works in real time! @Leesonscience @basdrickamato @KvackyFHS @BASDMsSage @basdjacksilva

Open for business! The class is excited to have the window open to serve our Special Olympics visitors today! Our students had a lot of fun decorating the coffee shop for today's event 🖤💛

Marketing In Practice/Coffee Shop is getting ready for the Special Olympics! We are creating posters to welcome athletes & parents! Even Mrs. Santini joined the fun!

The Business Dept has been busy lately! Mr. Bloszinsky's Cybersecurity class created posters to promote online safety. Mrs. Santini's Marketing In Practice/Coffee Shop class participated in an advertising challenge - winners had their posters displayed around the school!

Sophomore Seminar students went on virtual field trips to various colleges and universities this week. They enjoyed learning about the many different choices that they have after high school graduation. @FHS_HOB

Our Coffee Shop is not yet open for business, but Marketing In Practice students are working hard & learning about the difference between leadership and management,
Starbucks and Howard Schultz, and my personal fave: history of fast food breakfast.

@FHSFhockey @coachmusselsfhs Good luck, coaches & team! Bring home a W!

Look who joined our Cybersecurity class today for a lesson in ciphering and encryption! Can Mr. Cecchini crack the code and escape the Virtual Classroom?

[FHS Business @FHS_HOB]

Perhaps cyber attacks are just on my radar since I began teaching a cybersecurity course (kind of like buying a new car--you notice just how many people drive that model). I found this one earlier today:

More awesomeness: Mrs. Spang created a YouTube channel for her ELL learners. Students can rewatch a lesson/adjust playback speed for better comprehension. CC aids understanding and can be translated! Great for hearing impaired, too!

Fresh Seminar news: Most classes are doing a "Genius Hour" project this fall. Students get an hour/week to pursue a personal passion and create a unique project. Kudos to Mrs. Mauro for starting this project!

Mr. Petrosky's Marketing class is working on promotional videos for each of our courses! Great project for authentic assessment--they will be useful for advertising our diverse curriculum! Stay tuned for more info!

@basdjacksilva @BethlehemAreaSD You are absolutely right, Dr. Silva! We are discussing ransomware and threat actors this week, so it is a timely article! Definitely putting our vocabulary words to good use!

[FHS Business @FHS_HOB]

In lieu of a Cyber Tip of the Day, I am attaching an article about a ransomware attack at a school district in neighboring NJ.

So proud to have played a (small) role setting up flags this morning with the YAF club. I was amazed at the large number of students who woke up early this morning to participate! Never forget!

[FHS Business @FHS_HOB]

@MrsElliottASL This is great! Hard to believe that our students weren't even born on 9/11!

First week of school . . . SUCCESS! Our new Cybersecurity class is off to a good start! We learned about the need for information security and multi-layered security barriers.Students had fun designing a multi-layered system to protect valuables. Example of one design:
