February 2012 - welcome to the digital arts course - to start is half the work

first things first

Lets get a web address and send me a cut and pasted address to  
harrismailbox@gmail.com ------ please include your name, as written, on a class list as I use the list to search for your emails

Get web space at Zymic please use a ZXQ subdomain as it will not be blocked at school

OR Pay and be a real pro at 1and1.com

When you have created your new web space 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 can work from home if you have DreamWeaver - simply click on the site file (.ste) that you create and your site can be managed from anywhere (the original cloud)

- make sure your proper name is used in the email as I will use the student list to search for your email with the web address (URL) included


I need peer mentor students like you to help in class this
semester p-4

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

remember Murphy's Law

mmmmm vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvmmmmm

Students are asked to get a USB drive to allow you to store your 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)

 

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

Create on H drive a Folder called
COMTECH and inside it create a folder called (keep .psd .fla etc in here)
WebReady inside webready create the following folders ....

animations
audio
bgs
banners
buttons
flash
html
images

your index.html file MUST NOT BE IN A FOLDER

All video files must be stored on the D drive (local)since it is impossible to
edit video over a network

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 by signing up with Zymic

What's up Soon?

NEXT we will examine the basics of website creasion and management
Navigation bar options
Various buttons
HTML tables

Intro to FireWorks interactive webpage design software.
An intro to PhotoShop will get us ready to process images for the Interactive Web Project

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

> keeping your assets well organized in folders 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

have fun good luck ask if you need help...... MSH

September 8 2010

first things first

- lets get a web address don't use your old one and send me a cut and pasted address to  

harrismailbox@gmail.com
please put your name in the email spelled as I would see it on a class list since I
will use the class list to search for your email

Get web space at WebNG or better still >> Zymic

or better still pay and be a real pro at 1and1.com

- if you use 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 print using the HP Laser for printing this semester ......but as the YRDSB is taking control of all printing !?
10 cents BW text
1 dollar for colour print

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)

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

 

Use folders to save your assets in to keep things organized


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

 

having a directory full of files with weird names that were perhaps even funny at the time but non descriptive has caused many a student unneeded anxiety and wasted time

 

 

Set Up Web Site in DreamWeaver
1) Begin Website INDEX page
Small Communication and Knowledge marks for creating buttons and links
hypertext links, image link, rollover link, Flash ButtonK = 4X5 = 20 marks

2) Create/Send URL for index page
to
harrismailbox@gmail.com
along with your name as seen on a class list
C = 10 marks



 

3)- MY FAVOURITE YOU TUBE
- embed YT code into html
- create a viewing table
- banner
- gradient BackGround

- link to page from home page (index)

25 marks



4) Technical Digital Literacy
