Week 5: CSS and Rendering Graphics

We are back to normal.  Well, as typical as a high school schedule can be.  Our Index pages will be due next week.  Obviously, they are coming along, but still need a lot of work.  We will be placing our rendered graphics on our sites which include the logo/banner and navigation.  Remember, if you need extra time, I always try to keep my room open during lunch.

Advanced students, you have the coolest opportunities this week as you will visit Seek Momentum (9-12) and Apple (11-12:30).  This also means you will be losing two in-class work days.  I know it can be a struggle, but keep up with the pace.  You have mastered it before, and I know after this course, you can conquer anything.

Week 4: Graphics, Index, and Field Trip

We’re going on a field trip this week!  Woo hoo!  And it is Homecoming Week!  And and… okay, I don’t have anything else.  I’m just so excited to spend some extra time with you.  Plus we will assemble our graphics and index pages this week. Productivity is in much demand and I am counting on all of you to make it happen.

WEEK 3: Making Progress

Be prepared.  It is official.  You will be registering for the competition.  There will be a quiz on Friday over basic codes.  We will also spend some time developing our index page content. Finally, you will have to purchase some inspiration from the mall and bring it with you to draw your logo and navigation buttons.  It is a full week of fun.  Continue reviewing and modifying your mindmaps. Enjoy!

Week 2: Liftoff

ADVANCED ONLY: The district website is getting an overhaul. COMPLETELY REDONE. Choose between Almond Fudge, Jazz, or Macintosh as a layout here: http://www.schoolmessenger.com/template-library/. Which one do you prefer? Why? Use 5-7 sentences to explain. Your feedback is important. Post to your blog with a screenshot, link to your fave, and rationale. INDIVIDUAL ASSIGNMENT. This is due by the end of the hour on Friday, September 15.

I am very impressed by all of you.  The respect in class, the creativity in your ideas, the willingness to learn have left a permanent smile on my face.

This week we will continue to brainstorm on the theme, Love for Pets.  Continue to gather pictures that represent your ideas.  We will be completing our first Photoshop and code lessons so that you may begin seeing how a website comes together.

Congratulations on surviving Week 1.  🙂
