Thursday, May 5th (Odd Day)

6th:   Today in class we will be finishing up the PPT questions and answers and moving onto the creation of the game board.  If you want to try to create the board yourself without watching the videos...go for it!  If you need some help, check out the following tutorials:

Creating Category Boxes for Game Board
Creating Point Value Boxes for Game Board
Creating Hyperlinks to Question Slides

7th:   Today in class we will be learning about html tables.

Those who haven't finished the second HTML assignment should be finishing up towards the end of class today.  If you need help check out the code for my completed page.

After you finish the second HTML assignment, you should use Cool Text's website to create four web buttons that will become links to your other pages.  The buttons should be called "About Us", "Contact Us", and "Products".  You will also need to create a button for "Home" so that we can put that on the other pages of your site to allow visitors to return back home.  All of these buttons should look exactly the same except for the words!!!

8th:  If you are finished with PowerPoint and are ready to start working PhotoStory you should check out one of the tutorials.  You can watch a video or read through a walkthrough.

Characteristics of a digital story

Remember that your stories need to be between 3 to 5 minutes which means you will need between 18 to 30 slides in PhotoStory.

Completed photostories should be saved as .wmv files.  They should be saved into the v drive---computer class folder---8th grade---in bin---class name.  They should be saved as your last name.
