Web Design Blog

Today you will present your final product sites.  I will give you 20-30 minutes to rehearse and prepare with your group.

 After presentations you will write in your journals for the last time.  I will grade then the last 15 minutes of class, while you are cleaning out your home folder files.

 JOURNAL 19–Comment on each of the sites that were presented today—what was good and bad about each? 

 JOURNAL 20—How can I improve in teaching this class—what do you think about my use of the blog?

PLEASE NOTE:  FRIDAY JUNE 13, 2008 at 3:00 is the deadline for any late work you would like to get credit or grade increases for.

You have all period to work on your final sites—I expect this to be a representation of your very best work!!!

During the last 10 minutes of the period–complete JOURNAL 18:

1. Of all the projects and assignments you have had in this class what were your 2 favorite and why?
2. Of all the projects and assignments you have had in this class what were your 2 least favorite and why?
3. If you were going to continue with web design 2 next year, what would you want to build upon or learn more about?  What would you think of being assigned to maintain the school website?

After a brief discussion of yesterdays presentation and the rubric, you will have the period to work in your groups on your sites.

Remember—I expect you to be working as a team, which means everyone is doing their part—this means you have the equivilent of 9 to 12 hours of class time remaining!!!

Today seniors will present their sites—all groups will evaluate the presentations.

 Also, in your journals (17) please complete the following:

SENIORS:  Evaluate the class—what did you like, what could be changed or improved??

OTHERS:  Reflect on the presentations—what did you think of their work?  what can you take from their success and apply to your projects?  what was missing or weak that you need to improve upon in your work?

Seniors—be ready to present tomorrow!

Today, I want you to read through the Web Design Checklist and then reflect in your journals on how that information can be applied to your final project.

You have the rest of the period to work on your sites.  Be sure that you have looked at all the requirements—groups of 4 will have the expectation of increased content in terms of strong written work.

SENIORS—you will need to present your sites on Tuesday June 10 during class.

You should be working hard on developing your product sites. 

I will spend some time working with you on setting up your site for group access if you want.

ALSO—ALL GRADES ARE IN ON THE SOURCE—IF YOU HAVE MISSING WORK, GET IT TO ME!!!!

Today you need to be working on your final projects—make sure all team members have things to do—research, writing, designing images, etc.

 I will be grading FLASH and your CSS practice site.

Today you will have the first half of the period to work on your group projects.

Presentations will be the 2nd half of the period.

FINAL FLASH PROJECTS and the CSS SITE will be GRADED on MONDAY.

For the first half of class, work on the CSS assignment that was introduced yesterday. 

Then, work with your groups to prep your presentations for tomorrow.

While you are doing this, I will grade the CSS assignment and if you did chapters 3-4 in Flash I will grade those as well.
