This one-semester elective helps students develop skills in
designing, developing and maintaining web sites through

language), the language that drives the internet. In
addition, students will learn practical skills in the use of
digital cameras and scanners in preparing content for the
web. Through the use of Adobe Photoshop Elements, students
will become proficient in editing and manipulating digital
images, whether scans or photographs. This will constitute
about one-third of the course. Content and direction may be
influenced by the prior experiences and interests of the
