November

  1. PowerPoint begin (notes to start)
  2. The seven points of a good slide show design at http://neuage.info/t-p.htm especially slide number 15
  3. Using PowerPoint Firstly, Open Power Point from Macintosh HD applications power point.
  4. See these beginning notes
  5. For grades see...
  1. We will continue with making webpages in Dreamweaver for this trimester. Once Dreamweaver is open we will look at some overall structures of this package. Making webpages is our goal. Dreamweaver is one of many ways to make a webpage. In grade 7 we will make Webpages from a program called Fireworks and in grade 8 we will be using Flash to make dynamic and interactive pages. In ninth grade we will be making webpages from scratch with out the aid of a package like Dreamweaver. Today we will learn a little of what is behind making a webpage.
  2. Open your file early.html from your list in files. Your file should be under Site sites. We will continue with what we were doing last class. This time I will work with you on your computer screen at the same time you are. Continue with adding content to your table. In your first table column you were putting images from Early Sumeria. Today we will change our table headings later.
  3. In the left-hand corner of your Dreamweaver window you will see these three buttons splitWe will look at these now.
  4. This is the basis for all webpages = headings everything goes between these headings. A basic web page is composed of 2 main tags. If you create a web page without these tags you will be in trouble!
  5. <head>
  6. This comes immediately following <html> and is used to tell the browser useful information, such as: the title of your page, the topic of your webpage ( used on old search engines ) and more.
    <title>
  7. This tag must comes between <head> & </head> and will label the web browser's title bar, which is located in the top left of most browsers. In the previous example, we titled the page "My Own Webpage!" and that text would show up as the browser's title.
    <h2>
  8. This is a header tag. It will create a "header" that is much larger than the default font size. The "h2" means that it is the 2nd largest header. The largest header is "h1" and the smallest header is "h6". Headers should be used for titles, just like the ones you see on this page.
    <p>
  9. This is a paragraph tag. So when you're writing a paragraph make sure you place <p> at the beginning of the paragraph and </p> at the end!
  10. The first HTML tag, which is labeled <html> tells the browser that your HTML code is starting. The second HTML tag, <body> tells the browser that the visible part of the webpage ( your content ) is going to start.
  11. You might be wondering what is the deal with the two tags at the end, </body> and </html>. These tags are telling the browser that certain tags are ending. The </body> lets the browser know that your content is ending, while the </html> tells the browser that your HTML file is finished.
  12. The "/" that is placed before the tag's name informs the browser that you would like to stop using the specified tag. <tag> is used to begin a tag and </tag> is used to end a tag.
  13. HTML Tag Order - Important! The order that opening tags appear and ending tags appear follow an important rule. If an HTML tag is opened within another, for example the body tag is opened inside the html tag, then that tag(body) must close before the outer(html) tag is closed.
  14. We ended the body tag first because it was opened most recently. This rule of "closing the most recent tag before closing older tags" applies to all HTML tags.
  15. Now look at the Code view of your early.html clicking the Code button split
  16. Here is an example of a simple code and what it looks like in your browser: first code code
  17. Open Moodle and answer the questions there.

October

Open Dreamweaver

Continuing with our web page. Everyone now should have an index.html page which is you basic home page. When you open Dreamweaver and Files you should see your folder at the top with a sub-folder in it titled 2007-08 and a sub folder in that titled tri1.
In your tri1 folder you should have your index.html file (your homepage for this trimester – we will make one for each trimester).
In your tri1 folder titled images. You will keep your images for this trimester here.

1. At the top of your Dreamweaver page be sure you have Window > Files open . Create a new file by using

the dropdown menu at the top/right (the little lines lines ) of the “files” new files and name this file early-writing.html (you may have already done this).

From your index.html file make a link to your early-writing file in the properties menu at the bottom of your page. If you do not see "properties" that means you have

not ticked it in the Window menu . You will put the page you want to link to in the Link box (you can

point to a file in your folder using 'the point to file" and dragging the line to your file. The target is whether you want to open your page in a new window or in the same window you are currently in.

On your early-writing file insert an image (and you should have one on your desktop)  from an early writing tablet (cuneiform).

From this site http://www.wsu.edu/~dee/GLOSSARY/CUNEI.HTM
Find out what these two pictographic mean; sumerian writing and early writing

and write a brief description (do not copy and paste from the website but use your own words).
Insert these pictographic onto your early-writing webpage (you will need to drag them onto your desktop from this page then insert them into your page – be sure to save them in “images” folder in your tri1 folder in your 2007-08 folder.

On your webpage go to “Modify” > “Page properties” and choose a background.

In “title” at the top of your page if you have not already changed it from “untitled” change it to Sumerian Writing. title
