WEB PAGE DESIGN

 

 

Instructor: Mrs. Tompkins                                                  Room:  318

 

Students in this course learn how to design Web sites.  Included are site planning, page layout, graphic design, and the use of markup languages.  Forms and scripts are used to add interactivity and database access to Web sites.

 

Course content will include the use of HTML (Hypertext Markup Language), Site builder tools and programs (NVU) and Microsoft Notepad.  Students will understand and be able to explain how the Internet works and how web pages are viewed around the world.  Students will also include proper terminology that relates to the Internet and webpage development in their conversations.

 

The majority of information that we cover in class will done through the use of Microsoft PowerPoint. We will cover information together as a class by reviewing these PowerPoint presentations. The presentations will also be available on the class website.  Students can also save these presentations to a blank CD or USB flash drive. If a student needs a printed copy of a presentation they may request one.

 

Students will be furnished a blank CD for backing up all work.  Students are responsible for making sure their work is saved on the hard drive and on their CD.  If the student prefers to use a flashdrive for backing up files, they must have prior permission from the instructor.

Conduct and Discipline

 

I hope to make your experience in my classroom valuable and worthwhile.  In order to accomplish that, we must abide by some guidelines.  Following these guidelines will help us maintain a positive atmosphere and the best learning environment for everyone.

 

  • Treat everyone and all of our equipment with respect.
  • Food and drinks are not allowed in the classroom.
  • Games are not allowed at any time.
  • Personal business, i.e., email, messenger, facebook, myspace, etc. are NOT to be conducted during class.
  • Do not download ANYTHING unless you are given prior permission from the instructor.
  • Absolutely NO Proxy Servers of any kind are allowed to circumvent any CPSB

      blocked websites.

 

All other school and district rules as listed in the student handbook also apply.

 

Before School Detention will be given to students who do not follow the class rules above including the rules and guidelines listed in the student handbook. More serious offenses or continuous minor offenses will result in a disciplinary referral.  Please remember this is an academic classroom and learning must take place every day. 

 

Weekly Journal Rubric

 

Each student will be responsible for keeping a weekly journal. You are to use Microsoft Word to type your journal entries. Each week add your new journal entry to the same document. Do not create a new document for each new journal entry! Save your journal file to your folder on the network. Each journal entry must be at least five complete lines long, size 12 font, and Times New Roman font. Include the date for each entry. You will print and turn in your journal entries at the end of the first nine weeks. For the beginning of the 4th nine weeks, you will create a new journal. If you are absent, you are responsible for getting assignments missed and for writing your journals each week.  Fridays will be designated for journal writing.

 


Example:

 

1/08/07

This is where you would type your answer to the journal question. You will need to keep typing until your answer is at least four lines long. If you would like to write more, please do. I look forward to reading your responses. Make sure that you stay on topic as you are writing.

Make your journal complete with proper grammar and sentence structure.  Follow the guidelines listed above for your writing.  Points will be reduced if journal is not in compliance with guidelines.
