Week 9 Update: May 18-22

Seniors, congratulations!  This is your final few days.  Make them memorable.  Your final exam essay is due on Wednesday by the end of the class period.  For the rest of you, we will be working on our technology tables.  Attention to detail is extremely important.  Your finished product will go on your last page of your website.

Week 8 Update: May 11-15

Did you get original pictures of your goals for your multimedia.  You’ll be working on the “fun stuff” this week with these pages due on Thursday!  Get that video, Animoto, and marquee completed and placed on your site.  These features create a more dynamic look and feel for your visitor experience.

Week 7 Update: May 4-8

This week we will finalize your Index pages;  They will be graded on Tuesday so make sure you double check the rubric.  We will be moving on to creating you middle pages this week.  A discussion of requirements will help you begin brainstorming key page components.  Are you making strides toward accomplishing one goal? 🙂

Week 6 Update: April 27-May 1

THIS IS THE FINAL WEEK OF THE MARKING PERIOD!  CHECK POWERSCHOOL AND GET THOSE GRADES WHERE THEY SHOULD BE IN ALL OF YOUR CLASSES!

Because of M-Step testing, our computer lab will not be available on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.  Please complete JOURNAL #8  by the end of the week.  We will be meeting in our classroom on Wednesday.  If you have any questions, please email me at tcandela@lsps.org.  Show your parents this post so that they believe you.  🙂

Week 5 Update: April 20-24

A customized banner and navigation are on the agenda for this week.  These elements will turn your website template into a dynamic layout.  We will also have an assessment at the end of the week.  I want to measure your learning process.  Thank you for continuing to put forth an enormous amount of effort into this course.  You rock!

Week 4 Update: April 13-17

I hope you had a fantastic spring break.  We will be setting up our real themed websites this week.  Be sure to continue bringing in pictures and new ideas that will make an impact.  Yes, you will be using all of the codes (and more) from last week to create your first page.  It isn’t as tough as it may seem.

Week 3 Update: March 30-April 2

You should have your bucket list goals brainstormed by now.  Be sure to work on accomplishing one of them.  You will need five specific dates where you made strides to execute this goal.  We will be beginning our coding lessons this week.  You will have a quiz on Thursday, prior to spring break.  Make the most out of this final week before we get to take vacations and have dance parties.  🙂

Week 2 Update: March 23-27

Within this week, we will brainstorm, organize, and layout our website ideas.  Remember, we are focusing on three goals, one has to be accomplished by the end of the trimester.  We will be using a mindmap website to accomplish this;  Planning should be a priority in the web design process.
