Computer
Publications I Grade level: 11-12 Number of weeks: 40 Prerequisite: Advanced Computer Applications Number of credits: 1 Computer Publications I is designed to be a project-based course for students who are ready to apply the skills they have learned thus far, not only in the computer sequence but in other subject areas as well. This course approaches the use of computers at the advanced level to continue to challenge students who are already computer literate with desktop publishing, word processing, spreadsheet and database management, the Internet, and electronic mails skills. Students will also be actively engaged in reading, writing, thinking, speaking and listening throughout the entire course. The students enrolled in this course will be responsible for designing and publishing the school district newsletter. Students will gain experience in the world of desktop publishing and its hi-tech tools. Using state-of-the-art equipment and market-leading software packages, students will design and create their own professional quality publications. In addition to learning the precise skills of typography and layout design, students will also learn essential communication skills and effective journalism techniques. Students gain this experience by rotating through different job assignments every 6-weeks as a member of the news team. Job titles may include photographer, chief editor, layout editor, reporter, and other titles. |
