Day 4

6th:  Today's vocabulary word is CPU A CPU is the Central Processing Unit in your computer.  It's what makes your computer work.  Today we will begin our detective work using keyboard shortcuts.  We will be having a quiz on this material within the next couple of weeks.

7th:  Today in class we will begin to build our websites (woo hoo!).  The majority of the class will be spent doing some good, old fashioned, hands-on learning.  You will be clicking through designs, templates, fonts, colors, etc. as you lay down the design foundations for your website.  Remember to think about what will be most visually pleasing and easy to navigate for your customers.  You website must include this information.

8th:  Time for some action!  Today we get started creating out blogs. You should also know some of the characteristics that make a blog "good".  We will begin by creating usernames and loging into our Blogs.  After that, we will explore the features of our blog host and begin to develop the format for our Blog.  Did you remember your assignment of bringing a picture?  See if you can figure out how to upload your picture onto your blog.  The design aspect is always my favorite part of creating any website, blog, etc.  so please, HAVE FUN and learn by doing!


Because time is short and I really want you to begin developing your blog, we will postpone the Blog Quiz until next week. : )
