6th

Today we will be working on creating out very own websites.  MAny websites are designed in html format.  This is a type of coding that makes colors appear red or blue, text aligned in the center or on the right, headings large or small, etc.  Please watch the video below on how to create a website using html coding in the most basic application on any computer.

We will start our web design exploration using a hot site that shortcuts the html coding.  Please view the tutorial below about creating websites using wix.com,


After watching the Video, we will be creating our VERY OWN websites.  It is your responsibility to write down your URL on a piece of paper for me to visit to grade.  We will be working on these sites for the next few weeks.  Our websites will have a very specific purpose, but for today we are simply going to experiment with the features of the site.  So explore, discover, and click around to find out how to create backgrounds, headings, text boxes, pages, etc.  HAVE FUN!

Summer is just around the corner and Ms. Hemmesch is interested in buying herself a paddleboard! 

Please watch the following video to help you optimize your search for my dream board.

We will then research board sizes, prices, styles, etc. and create a spreadsheet in Microsoft Excel to help us display our information.


Then we can watch this zombie video...
