Welcome to Grade 7 Information Technology!
The aim of this 9-week exploratory course is to build upon the technology skills you learned in sixth grade and to enhance your understanding of how technology can be used to create interesting and unique **graphic images**. A wide variety of skills will be covered, with the focus on **graphic design in Macromedia FreeHand** and **website design in Macromedia Dreamweaver**.
