Course Updates

MEDIA LITERACY CLASS
Media literacy class is almost coming to an end. Students have started their final projects that are due before they leave on the December holiday vacation. The task is to create a movie and students have five topics to choose from. After they create their storyboards, students will begin shooting their video and gathering photos to complete their multimedia presentations. More to come!

HTML & WEB DESIGN
Students have been working on various aspects of coding and animation techniques. Coming soon will be a link to some of their fabulous web pages and animated creations! Next task....students will begin to experiment with the Carnegie Mellon "Alice" program. This introductory object-orientated software allows students to take objects and create virtual worlds using simple coding procedures.

CRIMINAL, BUSINESS, AND FINANCE LAW
Students have been studying criminal law, tort law and are now moving on to contracts. Understanding how the law affects individuals and society is an important part of this course. Seniors learn some real life skills before going off to college and the work place!
