Criminal, Business, & Finance Law

Criminals don't have a chance in this class! Students are learning about personal and business laws throughout the American court system. From famous cases to current events, students are getting a chance to see the system at work. If Lizzie Borden didn't do it, then who did? How did OJ get away with that! Inquiring minds want to know, and this class discusses all with the help of videos, wikis, webquests, and presentations. Stay tuned for some interesting topics around famous trials. Next semester the focus turns to finance laws and how to survive on a budget in college!

HTML & Web Design Class

How time is flying and we are already into the second quarter! Students in the web design class have done remarkable work using their logical thinking skills through HTML coding. It is always rewarding to see their progression from coding simple pages to adding some complex statements to highlight their ideas. Students are learning to use the elements of design, content, animation, and coding to produce effective results. As they get more advanced, students learn how to incorporate more advanced animations using Flash movies on their pages. The skills in this class are lifelong and can be applied to other disciplines across the curriculum. More to come!

What's New!

Technology & Research Class Begins in January!

The second semester brings new ideas and the Technology and Research course planning is underway. This course is an essential element in the curriculum since it covers 21st century skills with the freshwomen. The topics, discussions, and lessons covered are useful in all areas of study. Students learn to integrate technology into various disciplines and how to be aware of the pros and cons of Internet use. Social networking, internet safety, website evaluation, copyright, and effective research methods are just a few of the highlights of this course. Software programs such as Word, Excel, Inspiration, and Power Point are used as tools for students to display their learning in several ways. Use of Wikis and Blogs add to the interactive learning environment. This is an exciting time where students are active participants in the learning process! I look forward to working with them and sharing in their success.
