Digital Input Technologies (DIT) - $15 materials fee

The focus of this class is to teach or improve keyboarding skills (technique, speed, and accuracy) and to learn to format the basic documents (letters, reports, tables, memos/e-mails, and worksheets) using basic elements of Microsoft Office 2007. In the second nine weeks, students will learn the other input technologies and continue working on their document formatting and keyboarding skills. Dragon NaturallySpeaking will be used to teach voice recognition input. This class is a low-intensity homework class; however, the grade scale is based on industry standards and students must produce documents acceptable in the workplace and be capable of developing excellent proofreading skills.

Information Technology Fundamentals - $15.00 materials fee

It is recommended that students who take this course take Digital Input Technologies first so they develop their keyboarding skills to the fullest and learn basic document formatting using Microsoft Office 2007. This is a much faster paced course than Digital Input and requires a lot of reading and note taking as well as many hands-on activities.

Material is covered in the following three parts to correspond to the Internet Computing Core (IC3) industry certification exam that students may take:

Computing Fundamentals – Provides information on computing basics – from basic hardware and software to operating systems and applications.

Key Applications – Provides advanced instruction on word processing, spreadsheet, database, and presentations.

Living Online – Provides information on the concepts of computer networking.

Students who enter the class without keyboarding skills must take it upon themselves to work in class and at home during the first three weeks of the course to learn to key accurately and quickly using appropriate keyboarding techniques. Try this site: www.typingweb.com.

Why DoYou Need This Course? Employers, colleges, and universities now understand that exposure to computers does not equal understanding computers. So now, more than ever, basic computer and Internet skills are being considered prerequisites for employment and higher education.

Econ/Finance
When you are in a class, do you ever wonder, “What does this have to do with anything?” Sometimes a class can seem like it has nothing to do with your life outside of school. This class is different. What you learn here will have a direct impact on your life today and throughout your future. This is a very hands-on class. Topics to be covered include:

Developing economic skills and knowledge
Developing consumer skills (needs, wants, goals, rights, independence)
Demonstrating knowledge of personal financial planning for living and leisure expenses
Demonstrating knowledge of banking transactions, including savings, investments, and credit and loan functions
Developing an understanding of taxes and insurance
Completion of a practice set to demonstrate ability to handle finances for a month and record all transactions and online activities

Computer Information Systems (CIS) - $15.00 materials fee

This dual-enrolled class can grant college credit to 11th and 12th grade students upon its completion if parents and students have met the criteria and paperwork by the end of the first week of class (TNCC registration form and testing). Prerequisite: Keyboarding or Computer Applications (or demonstration of keyboarding skill, document formatting capability, and basic understanding of Word.)

This class is necessary for students today…to enter the workplace, use in college, or for personal use. After taking the prerequisite Digital Input class or testing out due to acquired skill (see Mrs. King), students will learn to produce professional documents in the Office 2007 suite, including Microsoft Word (word processing), Excel (worksheet), Access (database), and PowerPoint (presentation). Students also work with related areas such as the information processing cycle, file maintenance, security, ethics, privacy issues, new technologies, and the development of interpersonal and personal skills, including oral and written communication, decision making, time management, integrity, and responsibility.

Business Law (Business and Personal Law)

This class, designed for 11th and 12th graders, is devoted to teaching the legal principles students need to know as they move into adulthood. After a brief overview of our legal system, including criminal and civil law, students will focus on personal law issues including such topics as ethics, contracts, consumer law, credit, insurance, leases, employment, and family law. Students will explore legal issues using printed materials, internet resources, case studies, current events, peer and group discussions, and class presentations. The goal is to develop critical thinking, problem solving, and personal skills as students apply law to real-life situations.

In all classes, the grade scale for the class and student expectations are sent home the first day of class and signed by both parent and student. It should then be the first page of the student’s notebook which parents are requested to check often. Students have an opportunity to correct assignments if they have the original document so all graded papers should be in this notebook for student and parent review.
