 Team Building
lays the foundation for the Academy. Rules are defined,
expectations, and goals are set, teams are built, and
participants and staff learn how to work together. Participants
receive training in basic computer skills such as learning key
terms, keyboarding and file management. They learn how to log on
to the World Wide Web, to open an e-mail account and begin
correspondence. Participants are introduced to Life Skills
topics through the use of an animated series featuring four
central characters seen throughout the program’s modules.
Instruction in Digital Audio software familiarizes participants
with the computer as a multimedia tool, and they begin learning
to create their own compositions. Participants are introduced to
the world of work using a workplace simulation developed by
Classroom Inc.
