Soriano said–“Boring” on Smartboard. A girl that I don’t know said – “Plain” on Smartboard
We then looked at another webpage with slideshow images and colors and the comments can be found below.
Other Webpage

Another girl I don’t know said:– “Interesting” on Smartboard
And another girl I don’t know said – “Colorful”
We reviewed how to insert an image in a webpage using this code:

<img src="URL link" height="100" width="100">
How to Create Links:
Links on the front page of the New York Times:
Advertisements
Links to featured articles
Pictures can link to information
Links are a door to more information.

Links have three parts:
1. bracket a href= bracket/a bracket2."URL"> bracket/a bracket3.bracket Clickable Word or Words

(a stands for an anchor, attached to a page)
(h stands for hypertext, click on the text and it leads to another page)
(ref stands for reference, referring to something)
1. anchor
2. URL--web address
3. Clickable words, for example NYTimes

Combine parts 1 and 2 and 3
1. bracket a href="http://www.nytimes.com"bracket New York Times bracket/a bracket
An example---Create a link to Google
anchor-----
Web address "http://www.google.com"

Clickable words Google Search Engine
We then finished up by creating a webpage with five links. We used notepad and saved it as links.html.

Insert Images on a Webpage

Ariel's summary

Today we talked about the proper code for putting images onto a webpage. Be careful to check the code for bugs! Otherwise, not all your pictures may show up. The class had to create a webpage through Notepad, and code 5 images. You should try to practice changing the colors of the background and changing the size of the text as a refresher.

The coding for the images looked like this:

<img src="sunrise.gif" width="1"height="1">

Who Am I?

I am an american and am 23 years old. I became famous when I was nineteen .
I am an important person in the internet. Millions of college students and adults use my services every day.

Who am I?

When I first used Google, I was impressed because it was a better search engine than Yahoo. Little did I know, that was only the first of its many ventures. Today a rumor about Google indicates a bit about its business plans.

Today we began to look for evidence that the world is more connected. The US Open is just one example. Look for others.

Safe Blogging

Blogging has many advantages---developing your own ideas, publishing your ideas, and communicating with people in other cities and countries. However it needs to be done safely.
YouTube has a number of videos about blogging in an inappropriate manner. Click on the small images on the lower left to view the videos. You may have to view these at home since they might be blocked in school.

Classroom Rules for Blogging

• your posts and comments will be on the internet; they should be polite, respectful, positive and mature.
• never use your last name or communicate where you live
• your point of view should be presented in a polite manner
• do not post a picture of yourself
• do not post your phone number
• blogs should be written in your own words
• blogs usually have links to give the read additional information
• blogs usually have an image in the post
• some students write a short outline before they write in their blog
• review your blog before you publish it
• your blog should be about what we are learning in class

Other teachers have been blogging with their classes for a few years. Their ideas about safe blogging are important. Bud Hunt and Darren Kuropatwa ( see post from 9/7/2007) have many suggestions.

The Beginning

Welcome to the class of 2011!.. It is September...Your First Week in High School...A New Beginning...I look forward to working with you this year. By next week you will be designing your first webpage using Notepad. Sometimes there will be bugs in the programs that you (Matt Penning)
create. It takes effort to correct them. Frustration is usually a part of the learning process. This is natural. All superior work requires effort.

Learning continues after the school day. Please look at the HTML Tutorial to learn additional tags. If you can think of a project that will combine the work of another class and this class, please let me know.

This is the class blog. Next week you will create an account with Google and create your own Blogger account.
