Info
Capstone Project: Seniors will demonstrate
their mastery of the subject matter covered in their three
years in Information Processing. Each student will select
and create a Business Website for a business that they are
interested in owning or working for in the future. Via project
components designed by the student, each student will demonstrate
his/her knowledge of the software applications (Word Processing,
Access, PowerPoint, Publisher, Graphics, Web Design, Excel,
and Dynamic HTML), Internet skills, and critical thinking
skills.
Students will prepare poster boards displaying their web
documents and other documents created, by integrating the
software applications listed above. Students will also give
oral presentations to their peers, parents, and invited
guests, during two final culminating activities: Technology
Showcase and Pre-Tech Showcase.
Students will be given instructions (orally, written, and
via school/class websites) that described the required components
of the capstone project, with clearly stated expectations,
milestones, and due dates. Students are expected to be in
class everyday and take note regularly, so that they will
be prepared to meet the minimum requirements for the Capstone
Project.
All seniors are required to complete an individual Capstone
Project and participate in the culminating activities. The
Capstone Project grade will comprise a part of the final
course grade.
Please Note: Students are
expected to "dress up" for the Technology
Showcase events. No sportswear
or sports shoes. The colors are royal blue,
black, and white. Please be well-groomed.
Students must sign the Participants
List and complete a Participation Form
to acknowledge their comitment to the Technology Showcase
