Wednesday, May 11th (Odd Day)

6th:   Today we will continue to work on creating the game board and linking up the questions:

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

Extension 1:  Add pictures to your answer slides that represent the answers.  For example...if the answer to the question is Derek Jeter you can include an image of Derek Jeter on the answer slide with the answer.

Extension 2:  Embed a YouTube video into your PPT for one of your questions.

7th:  In class today you should use the <a> element to make your buttons into links for your other pages.  Check out this video on creating links for assistance.  If you need help creating your other pages such as aboutus.html, contactus.html and products.html, check out this tutorial on creating a new html page.  You can also review how to enter codes into a new page.

If you finish linking your buttons and you still have time left in class, try to create a text link within your paragraph.  For example, in your paragraph you can say "For more information please contact us."  In this example you could link the words "contact us" to go to your contact page.  You can also start to take a look at the about us page assignment.

Here are some resources you may require:

8th:  Today we will begin our next assignment which will be a much shorter one than what we just finished up with digital storytelling.  In essence you will be creating a technology how to video for someone in your family.  This video will be explaining how to do something on the computer.  

It might be that you want to show your annoying brother how to setup a pandora account or your mom how to attach a file to her e-mail...you will choose the person and the content of the tutorial.  In order to plan for your video you will need to write out the steps necessary for your task.  Before you get started, get some ideas for your tutorial and watch some of the videos that were created by Google employees.

By the start of Friday's class, you should have either a hand-written or typed up set of step by step directions (should be ten steps minimum) for whatever it is that you have chosen for your tutorial.  Here is an example of a completed assignment.
