Arriving early seems to have worked well, as we were able to get more into this class than previous classes. All students are encouraged to come 10" early so we can be ready to start at 6 p.m.
The first item on the agenda was to address students' ability to reach their server. Consequently, we viewed the Filezilla tutorial. Prior to watching the tutorial, the instructor told students that the default port for Filezilla (and most other ftp programs) is port 20 and they do not have to fill this in. Once the user has filled in the site manager, "quickconnect" can be used. One student reported being able to use "quickconnect" immediately.
This site may help students with Verizon access.
After working with Filezilla, we discussed making links. The instructor explained what an anchor (a) was. We wrote a link and then students were asked to complete 10 links in their .html file that we created at the last class. The assignment should be uploaded to the server space and the students should email the instructor the link at her comcast address. Use the links put together at the beginning of class and for which the instructor has a copy.
We then did some review of the previous class. The instructor's worksheet gave students the tags they have learned to date. We also discussed the Appendix section of the book, which is a reference for HTML tags and other information needed to write HTML.
There were three exercises:
- Making links within a document
- Making an e-mail link
- Writing tooltips
To Do for Next Class:
Using the model shown in class, add 10 links to the links page. You may want to use an H2 header for the category heading.
Upload the .html page to the server
Send the instructor the link
