Computer
Publications II Grade level: 12 Number of weeks: 40 Prerequisite: Computer Publications I Number of credits: 1 Computer Publications II is for students who have successfully completed Computer Publications I. Students go on to select a specialty area they wish to master that was introduced in Computer Publications I, plus they learn digital video production. The students enrolled in this course will be the senior members of the computer publication team responsible for designing and publishing the school district newsletter. Once students have gained experience by rotating through job assignments every 6-weeks in Computer Publications I, it is time for students to interview for the job they would like to pursue at a more advanced level. Job titles may include photographer, video producer (new in Computer Publications II), chief editor, layout editor, online manager, and other positions. At the same time, students are responsible for feature articles in every issue of the Lion's Roar. Video production will be introduced in this course and will open up new assignments such as video interviewing and video capturing. Like Computer Publications I, this course is designed to simulate an authentic office environment where students are challenged to develop targeted skills. It will allow them hands-on activities, which provides young learners to master certain competencies related to newspaper production, researching and reporting along with some entrepreneurial knowledge. This course gives students the opportunity to experience similarities to a career in journalism and reporting. It also exposes students to work like responsibilities and forces them to better manage their time to not only meet production deadlines but also go out on assignments outside of class to cover news stories. Students will be asked to train new hires (members of the Computer Publications I class). Members of this course will also be responsible for posting various sections for the Lion’s Roar online at http://www.cc.cnyric.org. |
