Re: Creating Lessons for a Computer 2 class

- you'll find much more curriculum help for a web design class
than a Computers 2 class. This will keep you much saner than
if you spend the semester building lessons plans from
scratch, building or finding assignments, and trying to make
them all fit together.

- Students will see the immediacy of what they're learning and
how it relates to the world around them.

- You can teach at a basic level, yet advanced students will
be able to research and move at a quicker pace. Few or no
bored students!

- Students generally enjoy building web sites. It appeals to
both right-brained and left-brained students.

- Did I mention there's much better curriculum materials?
Less work for you, more organized learning for the students.
Easier for you to modify and fit your environment and
teaching style.

Worried you don't know web design? Don't be. You can learn
right along with the students (and gain a skill by the end of
the semester).

There's a ton of books and resources, but make sure you
