OVERVIEW:
Welcome to
the HTML and Web Design Course! This
course is designed to teach students how to use HTML and Dreamweaver
to design web pages and create simple animations. During the course of the
year, students will learn how to evaluate websites, the basics of HTML code, copyright
issues, web design techniques, and the Dreamweaver
program. There will be some exposure to programs such as Flash, Animationshop, and Adobe Photoshop to show students how to
further enhance their web pages with video and graphics. Students begin the
year by creating
a web page using HTML before designing pages using the Dreamweaver
program. Once students have an understanding of the elements of the program
behind the web page, they will be able to manipulate their pages from both a
code and a design point of view. Several projects will be assigned throughout
the year to assess student achievement in this area. Most class work will be
done on a collaborative level with some presentation and peer review.

Students
are expected to have the following materials by the end of the first week of

HOMEWORK/LAB WORK:
Projects
will be given with due dates. Students are responsible to pass in any homework/lab
work assignments that are given on a timely basis. Late assignments will not be
accepted without a significant reason and 10
points will be deducted for every day that an assignment is late. Assignments will not be accepted after 1 school
cycle. Absent students must see me for missed work and will have one day to
make up assignments unless otherwise directed.
LAB ATTENDANCE:
Students
are expected to attend all classes held in the lab. If a student is 10 minutes late, she is considered
absent for that class.
WHEN THE TEACHER IS ABSENT:
When a
teacher is absent, a student is still expected to pick up their daily classwork assignment posted on the lab door. This assignment
is then due by the end of that day.
Since the lab may be locked, your assignments should be passed in to a wire
basket located in the
GRADING:
Assessment
will be based on daily lab work/weekly projects and assignments completed. Lab
work will be greatly considered in the grading process, since there is little
homework involved. Some tests/quizzes will be given during this course, and mid
term and final exams will be alternative assessment projects worth 20% of the
grade. All grades will be password protected and posted to the web for
parent/student review. These grades can be accessed through the FBA website under
ACADEMICS. Student passwords for the course will be provided within the first
few weeks of school through the main office.
