Students in Dr. Shegog’s 8th period Senior class.

Computer Software Applications 2 (CSA2) is the senior-level Education-to-Careers course in the Information Technology program cluster. Students learn basic web design concepts and create simple web pages using HTML and web editors. Students complete individual and group projects to demonstrate their knowledge of the basic web design concepts. Students also learn career development skills, and they are given opportunities to participate in job-shadowing and internship experiences.

All CSA2 students are required to check this site each day and read the Students page for important links, Hot News section for class news, and all Recent Posts for the latest information and updates about assignments.

Students must read the Assignments posts and Bellringer page to retrieve their daily work.

TechNotes posts can help clarify the notes that students record in class…not substitute for them.

Please note: All assignments must be saved in the appropriate electronic folder in FirstClass each day. Students must adhere to all due dates. Extra time will be given for projects and special assignments. You will receive reduced points for late work!
