Digital Fluency | Student Websites and Blackout Poetry

Dive into Design!

Our Digital Fluency students are mastering the art of web design. They’ve been busy creating their own websites from scratch, learning to organize information, use engaging visuals, and build a strong online presence. Get ready to be impressed by their digital portfolios!

Where Tech Meets Text

This month, our students brought together the best of both worlds by collaborating with the English department on a Blackout Poetry project.

Using digital tools, they transformed existing texts into powerful, visual poems. It’s a fantastic example of how creativity and technology can intersect to create something new and unexpected.

Beyond the Screen

Digital fluency isn’t just about coding, it’s about creative problem-solving. Our students recently put this skill to the test by designing websites that showcase their unique voices and interests.

Plus, a special collaboration with the English department had them exploring literary art through a digital lens, creating striking blackout poems. Check out their amazing work!
