first things first

- lets get a web address and email me a cut and pasted address to  harrismailbox@gmail.com please include your name as seen on a school list

- you might also consider this hosting service (faster no adverts etc)
Zymic - use only a ZXQ subdomain
(or it will be blocked at school)

When you have created your new webspace cut and paste the index page web address (URL) you have created and send it with YOUR NAME as seen on a student list to harrismailbox@gmail.com

I will use your address as a link in the class directory

You will use the tutorial or in class lesson to set up an FTP account to your website which allows you to upload from DreamWeaver

- make sure your proper name is used in the email as I will use the student list to search for your mail


I need peer mentor students like you to help in class semester 1+2 this year and next

There is a $30 lab fee for this programme and there will be no other costs involved to the student

You may not print using the HP Laser for printing this semester as the YRDSB is taking control of all printing !?

Students are asked to get a jump drive to allow you to store large digital files. Your jump drive will allow you to take your projects home to work on and act as a back up for your digital assets

Store your files on:
A >>> the H drive (school - use when working in class)
B >>>  your jump drive (use to backup files at end of class time and work elsewhere)
C >>>  your web space

( hopefully we will set up an FTP client to assist in managing folders and perhaps managing your site from DreamWeaver)

 

Your lost assets are your problem there never has been or will be exceptions for lost files including if the school server goes down!!!

Murphy's Law prevails  who feels it knows it!

First thing to do is start building web presence (get a web drive)

getting started with web space (do this quickly as WebNG gets really busy at the start of a semester)

 

 

You need a Jump Drive to BACK UP FILES

Make sure it has a well attached necklace and keep care of it as they are often misplaced or stolen.

 Murphy's Law prevails 

First thing to do is start building web presence (get a web drive)

Getting web space at Zymic

Pay and be a real pro at 1and1.com

When you get your URL send it to me at harrismailbox@gmail.com and I will post it on the class directory

Please be sure to include your full name in the email when you send your web address to me at the above address (I search for you using the class list provided by the school)

NEXT we will examine the basic terms of web theory HTML tables and intro to DreamWeaver webpage design software

This will prepare us for creating a Technology Report.

An intro to PhotoShop will get us ready to process images for the Tech Report

Give all your assets a descriptive and self sorting file name
examples : techreport.htm ,   piclightwavetechreport, piccolourwheeltechreport, bannertechreportpage1, bannertechreportpage2 aniflashbouncingball.swf

> keeping your assets well organized is half the battle

> remember if you are creating rollover buttons that these are .swf files and they must be uploaded along with your html files

> remember every website must have an index page

keep organized work hard and success will follow

Use folders to save your assets in to keep things organized in
Dream Weaver
so inside your webready folder create these folders and store assets in the appropriate folders

animations
audio
bgs
banners
buttons
flash
html
images
your index.html file MUST NOT BE IN A FOLDER

remember all websites have an index.html page that cannot be located inside a folder
