Broadway High School incorporates technology into all of its classrooms and subjects--from core courses to electives to our extra curricular activities.

Students use Micro Soft Office to create spreadsheets, reports, and PowerPoint presentations. Students also have access to Adobe Pagemaker, a page layout program. Using Pagemaker, students create their own layout of the annual "Yearbook" and school newspaper. Students also learn how to create reports with a layout and organizational system that is consist and formatted professionally.

Students also create the Broadway newspaper using Pagemaker, Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator.In addition, a good percentage of Broadway students have learned to create WEB sites using HTML scripting language. Students use Photoshop to create photos and graphics appropriately formatted for the WEB.

WEB related research and study is a part of our core courses.

To the left is student Jaime Contraras working on his WEB site during his double period "Computer Journalism" class.

Students learn HTML, JavaScripting, how to add music to their sites, creation of their own movies for the WEB, and how to design and layout their sites for easy navigation.

During this learning process, students need to learn how to use Adobe Photoshop in order to produce WEB friendly graphic images, photos, buttons, animated gifs, browser friendly colors.

To the left is a project completed by Araceli Cervantes. This project was created in Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Dimensions (a 3D graphics program).

Araceli created and drew the design for the cup. She also did all the artwork on the box.

Students do all their artwork. They never use clipart or download pictures or graphics from the WEB. All work is created by the student.

 

Adobe Illustrator is used to create the illustrations and designs. Photoshop is used to add special effects. Adobe Dimensions is used to create three dimensions (3D) to their graphics.
