taking
education into the next millennium
at the San
Diego Jewish Academy
(formerly at
Coronado High School).
WriteDesign online started Fall 1998 as an adjunct to
WriteDesign. The course and the online component embody the spirit of
communications by merging writing, art, design, creativity,
technology, and integrity.
Students will meet with the instructors five days
a week for two hours and additional interaction will take place
digitally. Work will be submitted in traditional print formats as
well as via e-mail, the Internet, live readings, and through
electronic and print portfolios.
