Digital media literacy is an essential skill for student learning, research, analysis, self-expression, and to prepare for a transfer to CSU or UC campus. I encourage students to take regular and Online courses. Combine your core major courses in Sciences, Language Arts and Business with Multimedia courses to facilitate your team projects. Prepare and submit essays, reports and research work by using your free District provided Google docs and Online Chat space. Utilize free video conferencing options to collaborate with coworkers, club members and classmates. Develop your professional and social networking skills with interactive social conferencing.
