Assignment 3

1. Make sure that you have worked through the topics from the previous week and are familiar with the basic concepts of using a WWW browser, searching the web, and following copyright guidelines.

2. Work through the HTML introduction and play around with the practice the steps in the tutorial. Play around with web page creation and format, especially tables.

3. Work on mini-project 1

Create a folder for mini-project-1. Call the folder "miniproj1". The first page of your project should always have the file name index.html.

Come as close as you can to finishing your first web page mini-project.  Be sure to save your work frequently. Note that you do not yet know how to do a number of the things that will be needed to complete the project. We have two more weeks to work on this. However, the more ideas and content you can pull together now, the easier the rest will be. 

Remember to bring photos to class for scanning or in digital format. You should have your USB flash drive for saving your work.  Also bring any sound that you want to include in your project:  your voice or a tape or CD or mp3.  Do NOT bring in LPs! Remember them ? **;-)

We'll be working with images and sounds as well as putting pages online in the next two classes.

4. Online discussion

Log onto your Blackboard / eLearning space for ICC 523. Look under the DISCUSSIONS tab in the left hand column, and follow instructions to contribute to the Literacy & FLTEACH discussions (if you have not already done so - note that this includes your initial contribution(s) and at least two responses to others). Also read the two newspaper articles about technology and follow the online instructions for participating in that "blog" discussion. Note that an important point here is to think about the differences between a threaded discussion and a blog. https://myRedDragon.cortland.edu If you are using an online discusion with your own students, would it be best to use only a single kind of discussion format? Why?
