Computer Science I: The Art of Web Design

This course begins with the basics of the Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) and moves through the essentials of how to create a web page while learning to incorporate frames, tables, graphics, video, audio and other simple web elements. Students will also be introduced to the history and development of the internet and the “World Wide Web.” Emphasis will be placed on techniques rather than on any one particular application for web design. Fall Semester only—1/2 credit.

Computer Science II: Web Design Basics
(Grades 10–12)
Moving beyond HTML into the use of industry standard applications such as Dreamweaver, Flash and Fireworks, this course will focus on design, media and the management of web sites. Students will be introduced to layouts, overlays, templates, and cascading style sheets. Prerequisite: Computer Science I or the recommendation of the course instructor. Spring Semester only—1/2 credit.

Computer Science III: Foundations of Web Design
(Grades 10–12)
This project-based, year-long course will further the students’ experience in web design with emphasis on developing skills to incorporate both “still” and “animated” media into web pages, organizing and managing web sites, and furthering their experience with industry standard applications such as the Adobe Web Design Suite. As time permits, scripting will be introduced. Throughout this course, students will learn to become effective communicators through the web media. Prerequisite: Computer Science II or the recommendation of the course instructor.
