AceDev/Knowledge Integration

for Core Placer Charter School Colfax Center Computer Classes

Instructor: Mark Graybill

High School Computer Applications

In fall semester we learn about the basics of computer use, computer and internet security, the use of standard applications, different operating systems, network applications, and the creation of web pages.

In spring semester we learn the basics of computer programming using the Java programming language and graphical editing tools to create images for our programs. We will be using skills from the fall semester to maintain web pages about the programs we develop.
