Course Description
This course provides students with a study of traditional and emerging Internet technologies. It will cover topics including
Internet fundamentals, Internet applications, Internet delivery systems, and Internet client/server computing. The course
provides a hands-on experience and some rudimentary programming in an Internet environment.
Teaching Methods:
1. Lectures/Demonstrations: Important material from the text and outside sources will be covered in class. You
should plan to take careful notes as not all material can be found in the texts or readings, and the books must
remain in the classroom. PowerPoint presentations will be used to assist students in note taking.
2. Assignments: Daily Lessons, On Your Own Projects, and other projects and readings will be periodically assigned
to help support and supplement material found in the lessons. These assignments may require the application of
various software applications.
3. Quizzes: Occasional scheduled or unscheduled quizzes will be given to help ensure you stay up with assigned
material.
4. Exams: Written and hands-on exams will be given. The exams will be closed book/note and will test assigned
readings and material discussed in class. Review sheets will be provided before the exam day. The final exam will
consist of both hands-on and written portions pertaining to the class.
Materials Used
 Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and other search engines
 Each student will be required to have a spiral notebook that can be left in the room. They will contain the bell
ringers that will be posted everyday on the board. The notebook must be dedicated to my class only.

Procedures for Makeup Work/Tests
It is the student’s responsibility to ask for required work that needs to be completed if they are absent. Make-up work,
including tests, must be made up within one school week of returning to school. Because of the nature of work, all work
must be done at school in my classroom. Work may be completed before school (beginning at 7:00 am) or prearranged
after school in my classroom. I will only allow students to make up work if their absence is excused within the week
allowed for makeup work. All excuses need to be turned into their home high school.
If the student is sent to AE, I will send written assignments to the high school for the student to do, and they will be
required to make up any hands-on work when they return to the classroom. The work will be due the day they return to
class from AE. Cheating is not acceptable. If you are caught cheating, it will result in an automatic 0 on the
test/assignment and a minimum of one day of AE.
Attendance Policy/Withdrawal Policy
All excused absences will require that work be made up within one school week of the absence to receive credit. Students
who have unexcused absences will receive a 0 for any missed work, as per high school policy. All students are required to
obtain any missing bell ringers from their absence. I was absent is never the answer to the daily bell ringer question.
Students withdrawing from enrollment are responsible for returning all books and materials in proper condition. Students
must be enrolled on closing day to receive academic credit for the class.
