Creative Computers

This PC-based course is designed for the young computer student who wants to learn new things and enhance what has been learned before. Understanding the computer process now may be important for applying computers to our future needs. Here is an opportunity for concentrated use of basic computer skills as well as an understanding of more advanced multimedia programming, with the flexibility to progress at your own rate. Projects are designed using Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Publisher, and Excel. These projects emphasize inventions and entrepreneurship. We will also focus on digital imaging and website design with Adobe software like Photoshop and Dreamweaver. Time will also be provided to explore additional graphics programs and problem-solving software.
