Photo Communications
Photo Communications
Photo Communications will provide your child with basic skills and understanding of the processes involved in desktop publishing. The students enrolled in Photo Communication class will be introduced to communication through writing and the exploration of technology tools used to produce several projects and create and manage a communication based business. We will use Photoshop 7, Publisher, Movie Maker, Web-based Online Video Technology, and Digital Cameras.
This is a project based class, meaning that most of your child’s grades will be coming from the projects that they complete in class. Students will be responsible for doing several major projects. The following is an outline of what we will be covering throughout this year:
