Powerpoint for Class 2: The (X)HTML Document
The instructor asked the class how they did on getting on to the free Web space that goes with their provider. No one had yet accomplished this.
A terminology sheet was distributed for students to write definitions in as they do the class readings. The definitions should be written in the student's own words.
Next she handed out a worksheet and asked the class members to open up a Powerpoint which was located at the blog.
We went through the Powerpoint to learn the structure of an HTML document: document declaration, titles, head, and body.
We went through the Powerpoint a second time with the worksheet and labeled the various sections of the HTML.
We took a break and the instructor made copies of the reading for a few of the students who had not yet obtained the book.
After the break we started on the next class project, which was to learn how to create headings, paragraphs, line breaks and horizontal rules.
A worksheet was distributed and the instructor explained how to copy the HTML from the book's sample and adapt it for the links page (last class's assignment).
Students worked on this page through the end of the class.
Next class:
Readings: Have 2-29 read.
Do the definitions page.
