Go ahead.
The skills learnt are:
* General graphical ICT skills (crop/resize/dimensions/vectors etc)
* Folder/File structure
* File types (especially images)
* How websites use graphics
* Thinking about the audience that your graphic is aimed at
* Thinking about the purpose that your graphic is for (what is it supposed to do? does it achieve it?)
* Being able to evaluate work
* Understanding the link between planning -> creating -> presenting (useful throughout life)
Oh, and they also end up with a GCSE at the end of it, which is pretty easy work compared to some of the stuff they have to do at key stage 4.
Or maybe I should be teaching them about obscure, useless maths?
