U3 Challenge Decision

I am going to do day 3,4 and 5. When I taught the unit, I didn’t think I had enough content to give them the strong background they needed to make really strong webpages.

I am a beginner with this material so I am doing Days 3-4.An introduction to the use of basic html.

I am going to do the Unit 3 Final project lesson.

My lesson review for Unit 3: One Pager:U3

Students will combine their knowledge from unit three to create a multipage website. Students have worked through this tutorial and will use this source code to help them begin. Assessment will be their adherence to rubric.

I will be doing beginners also

I really enjoyed thinking of new ways to teach Days 22-25: Final Project. I was able to have my kids make their own fan website using HTML and incorporating what we learned through w3schools.com. I had a few kids assign themselves table design and graphic design. I even had a student use photoshop to get the desired picture in his code, but my favorite extension was taking all of these items and incorporating them into google sites. My students used a combo of tools to understand how to put together a site without having to reinvent everything. I felt that by marrying the two (there’s an html feature on google sites), my students were set up to better navigate through scratch.mit.when we got to that unit. I found a lot of success with it, and my kids were extremely happy with their work.

I am going to work on the Day 14 HTML links lesson.Unit 3 - Challenge One Pager

I’m going to focus on Day 6-7 HTML - images.

And here’s my one-pager!

I felt that teaching the students HTML was easy and interesting because we finally had a chance to dive into some real programming. When it was time to transition into Day 8-10 Basic CSS, I found it to be the perfect opportunity to for a challenge, allowing certain groups of students to either apply their CSS inline, internal or external. Each student will get to the same end result but how they got their is unique, and they can share and compare their experiences.

I plan to work on html and css with my students as the main emphasis and will use the challenges that come with these areas.

I am trying the Khan Academy HTML and CSS course with my class. I have never used Khan Academy before so this will be a great opportunity to try it.

While CSS is a streamlining method for web design using direct html coding, it is difficult to transition to CSS without slipping over to app-based drag-&-drop site creation and many of the basic html tag lessons (in W3 schools for instance) lead students to CSS before mastering the basic html. As a non-user, it is difficult for me to give strong instruction for CSS
