9:40 Attendance

Congrats to CAWD Students that took 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in the CTE Pin Design Competition!

1st – Matt – CAWD2:

2nd – Jackson – CAWD2:

3rd – Laura – CAWD:

All three move on to the state design competition where they will compete for the State title.

All students that competed will get participation certificates which should be kept for your end of the year portfolio – if you can’t keep them organized put them in your drawing cubby – you will get these Monday.  They demonstrate that you took part in a design competition, which colleges and employers love to see.

9:45 Morning Web Pass/Fails

To start the morning we are going to work on a series of 3 pass/fail projects in which you are given a broken page and have to find the errors.  In industry you often inherit somebody else’s work, or take over a job to improve it, and finding other peoples errors efficiently is a skill to practice. 

In our example files is a folder called “morningPassFails”.  Inside are 3 exercise folders.  Starting with #1, open the html file in Dreamweaver and preview in Firefox.

1. Notice the errors/warnings.  You first need to clean away any issues in code.
2. After you have valid code (a green check mark) then go through and check issues with file/folder names and extensions.  The code could be valid but the file name misspelled leading to non-functional code.

As you complete each raise your hand and I will check you off for each.  You must have all three checked off before you go to lunch – once finished all 3 you are eligible to go to lunch.

12:50 Afternoon Web Exercise:  “History of your…” Website.

This afternoon you are going to use all your coding skills to create a webpage that covers your history in….something.

You need to find something that you have at least 5 of.  Some ideas:

• Have you lived in 5 states?
• Have you had 5 video games systems?
• Do you have 5 pets?
• 5 cell phones?

You could also massage this theme to be 5 favorites, such as:

• 5 favorite bands
• 5 favorite foods
• 5 favorite classes

Technical Requirements:

• Header Banner image at 1024 x 200 that says your name and “History of my Game Systems” and your last name.  Replace “Game Systems” with what you are covering.  If doing favorites…do something like “Colton’s Favorite Places to Eat Out. 
• Intro paragraph and intro heading explaining what is to follow.
• For each of your  “5 Items”:
• Include an image at 320 x 240 in size.  All images must be 320 x 240 except for the header image.
  
• Include a heading / paragraph about the content.  Your experiences with the object.
  
• Have a link that goes to the web where we can get more information on the subject, such as the Wikipedia page.
• Somewhere on your page include 1 unordered list, and 1 ordered list.

Create a folder inside Week 19 called “myFive” and upload your complete website to this folder.

Test once on the server!  Ensure a green check-mark proving correct code!

An example I created.
