Science III Honors<br />
Principles of Information Technology will develop computer literacy<br />
skills to adapt to emerging technologies used in the global<br />
marketplace. Students will apply word processing, spreadsheet,<br />
database, presentation, and publishing technology using Microsoft<br />
Office 2010. Students will implement personal and interpersonal<br />
skills as they experience project-based learning to prepare them for<br />
a rapidly evolving work & academic environment.<br />
This 1-hour course serves as an introduction to computers and the<br />
study of managing and processing information. The emphasis is on<br />
solving real world problems by means of computer programming<br />
(software engineering). Students will learn the Java programming<br />
language and apply those skills in exploring how computers work.<br />
Some topics covered include object-oriented design techniques, file<br />
management, data structures, graphics, debugging, hardware<br />
components, and social implications. Upon completion of the course<br />
the student will have created software such as a simple database or<br />
an animated graphics display.<br />
