Computers II
This class is project-based and students will be working
in cooperative teams. We will be learning how to create educational websites.
Part of students' grade in this class will come filling out their planner
daily and being on-task without disrupting the class. It is very difficult
to fail this exploratory but if students do not work on their projects
with their team (some students prefer to socialize instead of work), they
can receive a D or an F in Computers 2. This really should be a fun course
where students learn valuable skills that are needed in today's high-tech
world. The skills that students learn in this class will also help them
create their very own electronic portfolio when they enter high school
next year.
In this class, students will learn all aspects of web design from optimizing
graphics to storyboarding their ideas. Students will use different HTML
editors and graphics programs to create their websites. We will use school
email to communicate with each other and to ask webmasters for permission
to use pictures from their websites. No web-based or home email accounts
such as Juno or HotMail are allowed in school.
This class meets everyday either during 1st or 6th period in room 408
and parents are welcome to visit or drop by anytime. Parents need to sign
this sheet stating that they have read and agree with the above and this
sheet must be returned to me tomorrow.
The back of this sheet must be
signed by you and your child to allow your child to publish work on the
web. Students can publish work on the web without placing their picture
on the web if you so desire. Just mention that on the back of this sheet.
Thank you.
