Battleship is an interactive game and an ongoing year-long project where students apply programming skills and computer techniques learned throughout the course.  This is but one of the many encompassing, fun, and realistic projects   that allows students to fit together the programming and Web design pieces they're mastering and troubleshoot their work into a real world, hands-on, and comprehensive application.  This type of all inclusive project gives a firsthand perspective on starting an application in the beginning stages and seeing it through to completion. The educational rewards are documented, the end-of-year portfolio piece is extraordinary, but the student pride of accomplishment is priceless!!

Other electronic game programming activities created in class include:  Tic-Tac-Toe, Dice, Hangman, Matching, and a slew of simplier projects that all build on learned programming code to enhance and engage both the programmer and the user.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sure!  it's easy to build a Web page these days, BUT....do you really know the tagging

manipulate information both given and sent? 

 

What about design?  Can you keep your Web visitor on your site?  How creative are you?

 

These are all the things (and more) that students learn with the latest and most cutting edge technologies to include basic XHTML, FrontPage, DreamWeaver, and Studio MX programs. 

 

Throughout the year students create and have fun building Web sites that are interesting to them!  Insert your favorite colors, make your own cartoon insignia, have fun with video, sounds, and music. 

 

Web Page design and basic Internet understanding has something for everyone.  Whether you want to learn only the basics or get very involved with understanding the Web, this course has something to offer you!

 

 

 

Even the local pizzeria knows you by your phone number! 

How do they do that? 

It's Information Management through the use of databases.

 

Store discount cards, pop-up surveys, and everyone asking you for your personal information.....it's all so that maybe they'll be able to do business with you!  It's the Information Age! 

 

The Web Technology & Application's class learns to build and manage databases.  Doesn't matter how big or small, students learn to manipulate data and query results to create functional reports and forms that are professional and detail oriented. 

 

Learning the backend of Web pages and how databases are critical to e-commerce and how forms and regulating inventories, purchasing, sales, and communication are huge behind the scene practices being done 24 hours of every day.

 

In understanding and actually performing some of these tasks you are worlds ahead of many.  These skills are seeked out by businesses and will only better students in future times.  The knowledge of protecting yourself from hackers, installing the proper securities on your own machines, and proctecting your personal information are all tools that will serve you well in life.
