**__ 2811 Computer Science I, __**__ 1 credit (state) **GPA Level 2** __ ** Grade Level(s): ** 9-12 **Prerequisite(s):** Geometry; Algebra II concurrently ** Notes: ** $10 Fee; No prior knowledge of Computer Science is assumed or required; Meets technology credit requirement.  This course is a one-year study of the beginning skills and concepts with programming methodology, programming languages, data types, data structures, algorithms, and applications of computing. Design of computer systems and the social implications of computer systems are integrated throughout the course as well as brief research topics on the Internet. Java is the programming language studied. Computer Science I helps to prepare college-bound students with problem-solving skills that model the approach used in universities. This course is a one-year study equivalent to a first course in Java at the university level. The topics include data types, functions, control structures, iterative structures, data structures, the use of classes and files. Topics of history of the computer, computer ethics, computer systems, and applications of computing will also be included. This course prepares the student for the Advanced Placement Computer Science A test. **__ 2841 Digital Graphics and Animation, __**__ 1 credit (state) **GPA Level 2** __ ** Grade Level(s): ** 10-12 **Prerequisites:** None ** Notes: ** $20 Fee per Semester; Meets technology credit requirement. Digital Graphics and Animation is a one-year course that provides a foundation in the fundamentals of design within the art and graphic profession. Based on industry standards, the course covers graphic software, image scanning, digital editing, computer design basics, commercial art fundamentals and creative problem solving. Students will develop the basic knowledge, concepts, technical skills, and vocabulary necessary for computer digital illustration. Students will prepare a portfolio of their work. This one year course includes a study of the impact of the World Wide Web on society, elements of web design, and website creation and management. Students will develop web content pages and sites primarily in HTML and become familiar with professional level web authoring software. The students will explore graphics creation, animation layout design, organization and site management, and publishing issues. The World Wide Web (WWW) is the fastest growing part of the Internet. The popularity of the WWW is due largely to the ease with which users can not only access and navigate the web, but also create pages of information to share with others. This course focuses on the ability to write code and to learn publishing skills by serving information on a web server. Ultimately, students, within an ethical framework, will gain the tools to become webmasters for the class, school, district or beyond and thus participate in a global community of learners and collaborators.  **__ 2875 Web Mastering II, __** __ 1 credit (state) **GPA Level 2** __ ** Grade Level(s): ** 11-12 ** Prerequisites:** Web Mastering I with a course grade of 90 or **Notes:** $10 Fee; Meets technology credit requirement. better or demonstration of HTML mastery via a website project. This one-year course is a continuation of Web Mastering. Through independent projects, students will develop professional web sites incorporating advanced design and layout. Students will use JavaScript, Flash animation, CGI, Stylesheets, and DHTML to develop complex web pages. Students will create web pages to insert, delete, and sort database applications. Other requirements include: · Students will develop a project that adds to the school’s Web Mastering “knowledge base” via an on-line tutorial. · Collaborate with either outside companies or service organizations in developing professional on-line solutions. <span style="color: windowtext; font-family: Symbol; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; msobidifontfamily: Symbol; msofareastfontfamily: Symbol; msolist: Ignore;">· <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'AFMDK K+ Palatino';">Develop outside/independent projects incorporating advanced techniques.
