Department Philosophy: The Career Technology Education Department believes that education’s most

important function is to provide all students with the skills needed for post-secondary and careers. This is

accomplished by providing interest-based programs that meet industry standards.

Course Description: The goal of this course is to provide all students with an introduction to the principles

of computer science and its place in the modern world. This course should also help students to use

computers effectively in their lives, thus providing a foundation for successfully integrating their own

interests and careers with the resources of a technological society.

In this course, high school students can acquire a fundamental understanding of the operation of computers

and computer networks and create useful programs implementing simple algorithms. By developing Web

pages that include images, sound, and text, they can acquire a working understanding of the Internet,

common formats for data transmission, and some insights into the design of the human computer interface.

Exposure to career possibilities and discussion of ethical issues relating to computers should also be

important threads in this course.
