Student Web sites and Webcasts

Since Web design will continue to be a marketable skill for the near future, many schools are giving students a chance to participate in the school’s Web design. Such involvement requires students to learn teamwork, math skills, design skills, and a technical language: HTML (HyperText Markup Language).

In the Spotlight

Catherine Zane Middle School, Eureka City Unified School District
Students in the Environmental and Spatial Technology (EAST) lab use technology to complete projects and learn skills needed in the 21st century. For example, they study Web design, use animation software, and learn to use video and digital cameras. Students used a Web site design program to design the MAD lab Web site, a new Web site, for their school. In addition, students use project productivity programs to design project posters, journals, and presentations.
