SPRING- 2010
COMPUTER APPLICATIONS


This course is an introduction to computers and the software applications of Word, Excel, Power Point, Adobe Photoshop, Dreamweaver, and Flash.
It is a project based course, so students will have to spend time out of class working. Most importantly the students have to be more self directed in time management. The only way to learn the programs is to use them :)

All information will be on this homework page-- Handouts, project descriptions and due dates.
