Multimedia

The Multimedia class runs 7th and 8th grade students through the basics and beyond.

From there, students quickly progress through acitivities in graphic design, Photoshop, frame animation and iMovie.

 

Digital Media

8th graders who have completed Multimedia or have a high level of computer savvy can sign up for Digital Media. Using Adobe's Creative Suite CS4 (Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Flash, Illustrator), students in Digital Media experience state of the art multimedia software and work in a web-based environment to show off galleries of their work on the World Wide Web. Having mastered iMovie, Digital Media students move on to using Final Cut pro for video production, and get the opportunity to work with our new 3D printer!

"Good Morning, Cupertino!" Students in the Multimedia Publications class are responsible for producing Cupertino Middle School's daily announcements via a video webcast. This is an elective for 7th and 8th graders who are adept at using multimedia software like iMovie or Final Cut Pro to create video and online material.
