Secondary schools now offer computer graphics courses which meld the disciplines of the arts and sciences. Students are demanding more than the required computer literacy courses and are challenging their teachers to incorporate graphics into their specific area(s) of interest. Many courses are offered through their art departments and with specialized courses in science and math. Cooperative learning is beneficial since facilities, equipment and resources are major impediments. Students sharing computers and teaching one another have become commonplace.This panel of secondary school educators will share their experiences with curriculum, research, administrative support and examples of student work. Each panel member brings to this endeavor enthusiasm and personal pride in their research and individual school programs.
