Web design, a growing force in business, will be the major focus of the course. Students will design web pages for themselves, Region 9 Vocational Center or for some aspect of the Governor Wentworth Regional School District using HTML, PUBLISHER and/or FRONTPAGE 2003 and/or ADOBE GO-LIVE for web page design. This course continues to change over time to keep pace with current business practices.

Changing technology is the norm for the electronic office of today. This class will address the rigors involved in business by multi-tasking projects using MS OFFICE 2003, an integrated software program. Students will master the high-level functions of Office 2000 applications including; INTERNET EXPLORER, PUBLISHER , POWER POINT, ACCESS, EXCEL, AND WORD. Students should expect to be proficient enough with these applications to make presentations to classmates as well as outside groups. Students will work individually as well as using the team approach in completing projects. Projects are designed to help students experience the dynamics of communication, organizational behavior, and goal setting with high quality results. Students will be expected to develop or significantly add to their E-Portfolios.

(As E-Commerce becomes the basis for the way business conducts itself, it is important that students gain an understanding and working knowledge of E-Commerce. Web design and maintenance is an integral part of this.)

Independent study is encouraged for those students who wish to continue to maintain the Kingswood Connexion for a full year.
