Business Image Management and Multimedia is a one year course designed to provide students with opportunities to develop skills to meet the changing needs of business in the areas related to graphics and multimedia.  Students learn to prepare presentations in a variety of formats.  If the student maintains an 80 average they will receive Tech Prep credit for this course.

The students will learn designing, importing, and manipulating advanced text, graphics, audio, and video used in presentation management, multimedia production, publishing systems, and emerging technologies. 

We have two Sony Digital Cameras, two Nikon digital cameras, three Sony DV Camcorders and one Cannon DV Camcorder  to use for our projects.  Our classroom is networked, and we will be saving all our work to our home directory and storing it on a file server that is centrally located in our building. 

We have two Casablanca Editing Bays to produce our highlight videos.  One of our Editing bays was purchased with grant money we received from the South Plains Tech Prep Program.
