Offering real life experiences is a goal of ours at J.R. Gerritts Middle School. We encourage our students to become life long learners and develop skills to help them take charge of their own learning and to create their own learning opportunities.
The Computer Applications Department at J.R. Gerritts Middle School is designed to prepare our students for the 21st Century. Students are engaging in technical applications more and more and we strive to make sure our students are ready.
We not only teach the technical abilities, but also the less concrete aspects. We teach our students how to critically think through a task, work in teams collaboratively and how to reach out to the global community using the technology readily available to us.

Web Page Design

Students will have the opportunity to create a webpage using the free, web-based Google Sites, Yola.com, or Wix.com. Students will use the scanner and digital camera as well as create their own graphics and animations for the web pages using Fireworks software. Images will be edited utilizing either Fireworks or Picnik.com.
