Digital & Interactive Media
In the Digital & Interactive Media course, students use web-based technologies to design and create a wide variety of multimedia projects including website design, vector graphics, animation, digital audio, photography and videography. The course uses free, online tools to create, save, and present complex projects to a world-wide audience. Students finish the course with a complete portfolio of their digital creations.

 

Subsidiary skills are practiced along the way (and as educators we're even more excited to foster these corollary skills/values in our students) include the following:

  • Professional Writing in the form of weekly critical analysis of peers' work,
  • Perseverance to struggle and refine, in order to create a quality product
  • Self-Teaching "What? The teacher didn't give me all the answers?!?"
  • Mastery Learning Students don't earn partial credit for sloppy work
  • 21st Century Skills Students can come in knowing nothing about computers, and before long they are effectively using GoogleDocs, building websites, and creating digitally.

    • The Digital & Interactive Media course is recommended for students in Grades 10-12 and is found in the Information Technology cluster of the Career & Technical Education TEKS.
