Back to School Night

Wednesday, September 29th

 

Web Design is a great course where students can immediately apply what they are learning in class. New concepts are discussed and demonstrated in class and then students create new web pages that incorporate the new techniques discussed. In the first semester of the course the focus will be on the language of the web - XHTML. Once students have mastered this language they will then be introduced to Macromedia Dreamweaver MX, Flash and Fireworks. Students will also learn about JavaScript, Frames and Cascading Style Sheets.

The following links will provide you with more information regarding the course.

Course Syllabus - This will provide you with the basic information about the class

Grades - You may view your student's grade at any time from this web site. Click on the grades button and then enter your student's last name and then their student number. If you do not know their student number ask your student, they will know it. If students fall behind they must come in before school (I usually arrive by 7:30 am), during lunch or after school to catch up. Making up assignments is not a problem but students must come into the lab to make up the work.

Attendance - Attendance is one of the main factors affecting a student's grade in this class. You may check your student's attendance at any time using the district's web site. Enter your student's ID number (same one they use to check their grades) and their date of birth and you can see their attendance.

Books - Please browse through the HTML 4 books that are available to get a feel for the type of material we cover in the course.

Calendar - The calendar will also give you and idea of the type of things that we do in class. We typically spend one day a week in the lab putting into practice what has been learned in the classroom. If students forget what the homework was for the class they can always check the web site.

Sequoia High School Web Site - check this site for the yearly calendar, bell schedule, daily announcements, teacher contact information and much more.
