Animation High School Course.

Next year I am taking Computer Animation 1.
I know very little about this class so I was hoping someone on this site has taken it before in high school and could tell me the basics of it and anything else I could find helpful.

Your highschool offers animation courses? Wow... Mine didn't even have a Word/Power Point class.

Man, that would have been nice if my school had that. I'm taking animation in college, and the first time I touched the software was when I went to class. It would have been cool to be a little more familiar with it at the beginning.

A buddy of mine took animation at his school and the guy who taught it worked on Lair. Its a high school course so it is obviously just intro stuff, you will obviously be doing simple animations, i dont know what other kind of info you are looking for. 

nice, i don't know but i assume it's adobe flash for animation. it's an alright program, i learned to use photoshop to make the stuff and then animate the objects in flash.

Don't have much to add to this thread, but I just wanted to say how cool it is that your high school has this course to offer!  Mine didn't even have drama class heh... it was pretty traditional in terms of the subjects taught.

Yes,It is now a highly sought-after professional career, and the best animation colleges will work with their students to prepare them for immediate employment.But no worries you can find a list of animation colleges at link http://findyourartschool.com/ep/animation-colleges.php. 
Advances in technology continue to transform the field of animation.
