 * Blk B & D:**

Many student were away last class so THESE students MUST learn from students who were present

HOW USE "**AP DIV**" under the INSERT pull down menu --- layer objects -- AP DIV.

AP DIVs act like a box to hold text or image or just a colour fill.

the BEAUTY of these boxes is that THEY CAN be LAYERED and CAN BE MOVED anywhere.

ALL students will be using them today in their testing websites.

to preview their work student click on the little globe icon.

by the end of the day student must have minimun 4-5 test web pages that are properly linked and have a return to home page link.


 * DREAMWEAVER IS FUSSY:**

--- website folder must be on desktop (eg. local)

--- images and html files must be **IN the folder**!!!!

--- use short easy to identify names for images and html files.


 * to save the website drag the website folder TO THE STUDENT HOME DRIVE ...save to home drive!


 * to work on the website drag the website folder TO THE DESKTOP ...work locally!

---RE: Your summative Website... - on you personal wikipage... make some planning/brainstorming notes about.... - what you might put in you website - how you might want it to look...

**__NOTEs regarding lab 033:__** **No food, No Drinks, No games – EVER.** Before leaving the class: Remind Students to **push in the chairs & make sure tables/floor are clean**. All little pieces of wrappers etc in the garbage or recycling. **Students will stay on task with some reminding and teacher interaction.** Thanks so much! J Have a great day b

**.** **.** Monday, April 23/12 - Day 1


 * FYI: information I gave to supply teacher:**

**1.** Students should know I’ve gone through wiki & drop off for work to mark for OUAC transmission. I’ll go over marks next class. STUDENTS ARE REMINDED TO **STAY ON TASK** and MAKE EVERY MOMENT OF EVERY CLASS **PRODUCTIVE**. Now is NOT the time to slack off.

**2. New Work is on WIKI. Make sure you are up to date.** Today's work DUE at end of class: Research (lookup & find out about) the following concepts.... What does these terms refer to? Explain in your own words on your personal page. Include reference links/images to help illustrate : )
 * - website architecture design** (we'll focus on simple designs suitable for personal/artist/small business website... not huge database designs)
 * - website navigation design**
 * - information hierarchy/hierarchies** (ways to organize information graphically)

- challenge 1: **starting/launching dreamweaver** (warning: doesn't look friendly & don't attempt this without tutorials 8 ) - challenge 2: **insert a text box** & type in a title (eg. My website) - challenge 3: **insert a picture** (which must be saved in the website folder you create... use tutorial video... dreamweaver is very fussy about folder and file names and location.... VERY FUSSY) - challenge 4: **insert a URL link** (eg. to our class wiki page) - challenge 5: view the effects of your work so far by clicking the "little globe" icon to **PREVIEW the work IN A BROWSER** : )
 * 3.** In class **Challenges** for those who have finished 2. above.... or... try looking these up & making notes of key steps for **homework** so we can try them out NEXT class....

Can you do take on these challenges? Who will succeed? I DARE you to surprise me... in a good way ; )

There might be incentives for those who do... hint hint ; )

**__NOTEs regarding lab 033:__** **No food, No Drinks, No off task behaviour – ever.** Before leaving the class: Please **push in the chairs & make sure tables/floor are clean**.
