What's Going On? September 6th through 9th

Programming the Web's Partnership with WCTC

This is just a reminder about our discussion that we had last week regarding our course partnership with WCTC.  Students who are enrolled in our Web 1 course have the opportunity to enroll in a FREE transcripted credit class with WCTC.  Students who choose to enroll in the WCTC course will complete the same coursework as students who do not.  Students who pass the course with a “C” or higher and are enrolled in the WCTC transcripted credit program will receive credit through WCTC in addition to Waukesha North.  Students will be completing the paperwork to enroll in this course this week during class.

Lesson 1: Web Basics

This week, students will continue our study of web basics.  The official WCTC reading assignment is to read the first three chapters of our textbook.  To make sure that students are not overwhelmed by this heavy reading assignment and to make sure that we gain the necessary information from the text, students broke up into groups during class on Friday and summarized a portion of the text on a poster.  This week in class, students will view all of the posters in order to read a summarized version of our text.  While viewing the posters, students will complete our accompanying reading guide and plan our responses to the weeks ten multiple choice questions.  Later in the week we will continue our discussion from last week about fixed width web sites, liquid web sites, and responsively designed web sites.  Students will then find currently existing websites to find an example of each.
