Two Week Break

To All the Class,

Have a good two week break. If you do work on your project during that time, be sure to Blog your hours (include day and amount of real time spent). For instance, checking out books at Borders is great research time. (but no, the travel time to get there isn't, Josh.)

I assume you will return motivated to continue. The stretch after Projects Period is often the longest continuous class time we will have, so plan to make a lot of progress during those weeks. By then Photoshop CS, Studio MX, and all the books will be in.

As books arrive, I will send you an email, and leave them at the front desk, if any of you would like to make the trip in to school to pick them up.

I am thinking the next presentation should have an audience - I will invite any students and staff who are free sixth period, in particular Ann S., because of Eli's art connection, and see if Craig can get free as well - and this should happen about two weeks after we get back.

Thanks,
Richard.

HTML and other language tutorials

All the class,

Here is a link to one of the best online HTML (and other languages) tutorial sites.
There are examples, snippets of code to swipe, and windows in which you may write code and immediately see the results and changes.
Put a link to it on your computers, and those learning HTML should go through the lessons.

The references are clear and clean. I may show it on the overhead in class.

Start the Independent Computer Course Off Right...

This is a method that may satisfy both our interests..
I need you to document:

• what you are learning every school period
• what you are learning every homework time
• your sources - exact internet links, exact titles and authors of books
• what software and hardware resources you are using
• pose questions that I may be able to answer, or others may be able to answer
• what you are planning next

Your blog will contain daily timed entries of your work. I can review it and make specific comments, and suggestions that you will follow. You may point me towards computers with folders of your ongoing work as needed.

Students in the class will have a chance to view the blogs and documents, and make appropriate academic suggestions for you as well, and I expect that you will be contributing to each others' success this way.

Although it is a blog - I want real words, sentence structures, and words capitalized appropriately.
