Welcome to Spring Semester 2012

Hello Students! I hope you all had a restful break, but now it is time to get down to business. We are going to have a great semester and learn a lot.

For both my Magnet CMW and Web Design classes, my blog is basically a place where I post information about what we are doing in class. We complete most work in class, so it is not necessary to check it everyday since we do not have homework. I also use it as a place to post documents for students to download for assignments we do during class.

I handed out the syllabus and a signature sheet today for parents to read over and sign. There is a link to the right called general course documents that also has these documents if you would like to see them.

Please email me if you have any questions. I will see you in class!

Hello everyone,

Here are the 3 Scratch galleries for the CMW classes. If yours is missing, it means that we are still dealing with glitches, or when I was grading the projects, yours wasn't working. I will add it after we deal with the issues.

1st period: http://scratch.mit.edu/galleries/view/147946

2nd period: http://scratch.mit.edu/galleries/view/147949

3rd period: http://scratch.mit.edu/galleries/view/147950

We will be working on our website projects up through the final exam. Also, i have a review packet to give students tomorrow.

Hello Everyone...

My daughter got sick with a stomach bug yesterday, so I had to be out again today.

CMW 1st, 2nd, and 3rd

We will definitely finish any Expressions Web instruction on Tuesday and start the actual project site. Today however, you will complete two other assignments: one covers elements of good web design and one covers networking.

Remember that you need to be in Firefox and follow these directions to open any documents:

• Click on the file
• Under Open with, choose other
• Browse
• Microsoft Office folder
• Office 14 folder
• Choose Word app
• Open
 

You are to complete these two assignments before you go back and complete Friday's research! We will discuss these when I return. This information will be on the final exam.

1. You will complete the assignment on Good Web Design Tips: Download Web Tips. You are to save this in your web folder. Follow directions carefully. You will print when complete, so put your name in the header like the instructions tell you to!
2.  Next you will complete the assignment on Networking terms: Download Networking terms. You are to create a networking folder in your CMW folder if you don't have one (I cannot remember if we created this one at the start of the semester). Follow directions carefully. You will not print, but I will check it from the folder, so make sure it is in the correct location.
3. If you are finished with both of the above, then you should go continue researching for your website that you began on Friday. Make sure to get all information and to save all images.

You will receive daily grades for all of the above. Since we don't have long until the end of the semester, I suggest that you use your time wisely!!

Magnet CMW Classes:

Well, we only have 3 more weeks. This week, we started our web design unit. We are coding HTML to create a website. Next, we will use Expressions Web to create a project site. Students will be able to work individually or with a partner. For this project, I am letting the students pick their own partners. This will carry us to the end of the year, along with a few other small lessons on other topics.

There is a final exam for my course. It will be a cumulative test consisting of multiple choice, matching, and a few short answer questions. I will be creating a review packet that we will discuss before the exam day.

Scratch and Alice projects went very well. The Scratch projects will be uploaded to the Scratch website so parents and any other people interested can view them. I will post the specific urls after this weekend. The Alice projects are not all complete, but we will have some time next week to finish up.

If you would like to download Scratch or Alice (they are both free), here are the websites:

• Scratch 1.4: http://scratch.mit.edu/
• Alice 2.2 (do not download Alice 3 beta): http://www.alice.org/

Also, there is a program called Greenfoot that is educational software designed to make learning programming easy and fun. It is an Interactive Visual World that teaches object orientation with Java. It is also a free program that can be downloaded here: http://www.greenfoot.org/download.
