Mid-term Quiz
What?
Design and publish a web page-a homepage for your elementary school (a
real one or an imaginary one).
Why?
Technically, to display that after learning and practicing making
ePortfolios for six weeks, you get a good mastery of the whole process of
web design from web authoring (using Netscape Composer) to publishing
(using FTP). Another important purpose is to build up team spirit and
learn to collaborate!
When?
Finish the team project within an hour in class today. Getting it done means to go through all the
following 5 steps, including getting the page published to each team
member's webspace so that everybody can check this page/site from
our ePortfolio Showcase Page in the course website. Remember a finished mediocre project is better than a fancy one
that is still in your heads!!!
How?
1.
Form a group of 3 or 4 people and start working on the project as soon -
and as quickly - as you can. This is a team project and everybody needs
to contribute though there will only be one person holding the mouse.
2.
Name this page "midterm.html" - required.
3.
Make this page using Netscape Composer:
Requirements:
open-to fully show your web design skills you have mastered in the past
6 weeks.
Try to make this page as real, as rich, and as interesting as you can. Try to
incorporate all the skills you've acquired and sharpened in the past few
weeks. For instance, you can include graphics/images, links
(internal links-to another page in a site; external links like linking
to Cortland, Google or Yahoo!; an e-mail link), a navigation bar, a horizontal
line, text color, background color, etc,etc.
4.
Publish this page: Publish this page to each of your team members' Cortland
web folder. Figure out the URL of this page (Clue: http://web.cortland.edu/yourID/midterm.html).
5.
Showcase to the whole class your web page
Evaluation.
Peer evaluation and sharing.
1) Share with the class the published page online
(rather than the page in local). Provide comments on the webpages/websites
- what impress you the most; what can be improved.
2) For each team member, share with the class what you discovered today
that you didn't know earlier!!!
3)
Reward: any suggestions?
