Learning Target: Create the website with links that go to each of your pages.

  1. Using your spreadsheet for a guide
  2. Finish creating the first web page
  3. Include:
    • the table
    • an image
    • the links to simple named pages that you will file save as

Example: <a href="mb.html">Motherboard Page</a>

  1. When all of the links are done, then change the heading in the top row and the background color of each page when you "File>Save As" for each of the names that you need to link to.
    • Each time you change
      • in the tag: <body bgcolor="pink"> you change the color in each sheet
      • in the first line of the table, the name of the part is changed
      • the image of the part is changed to the appropriate image
      • change the rest when finished with those items

Scoring:

For a 1: Anything less than 2 ;)

For a 2: The index or base page is made with the links that would work.

For a 3: All pages link to each other with different color backgrounds and images on the pages.

For a 4: Appropriate images and definitions are included on the pages.

Learning Target for today:

Go back to our HTML. You are going to create a web page about how computers work. First, you will create the template using Microsoft Excel, and gathering and storing all of the information you need for each item.

UPLOAD the finished spreadsheet to Schoology

(with a file name of ComputersLastname.xls)

  1. Create a new folder called computers
  2. Inside that folder create your image folder (named images)
  3. Open Microsoft Excel - we are going to create an outline of our pages using it to draw how we want our work to be arranged
  4. Save this in a folder in your new folder called support
  5. Choose your background color for your page using the hex colors
  6. In your Excel document, we will work together to get the framework started.
  7. BY THE WAY, CHROME AND THE INTERNET WILL BE BLOCKED TODAY
  8. Create a list of the parts inside the computer, and then we will put a table in together so that there is a base page that will navigate to all of the other pages.

Google for the information that you need for each sheet and paste it onto that sheet

A central processing unit (CPU) (formerly also referred to as a central processor unit[1]) is the hardware within acomputer that carries out the instructions of a computer program by performing the basic arithmetical, logical, andinput/output operations of the system. 

From Wikipedia

The CPU is to the computer what the Brain is to a person

************************************************************************

Students learn how to make tables to manipulate information on a web page, and then use the information to describe the parts of a desktop computer.

Assignment #1: Complete the Table Tutorial 1 and / or Table Tutorial 2 so you know how tables work in HTML

HINT: if you add a border="1" attribute to your table tag you can see the table borders (<table border="1">).

Assignment #2: When you think that you understand it, create a folder named school in your H drive Tech folder that will have this index (home) page and an images folder for any pictures that you may need for this site.

Hint: <img>Image tag information

Be sure if your images are in the image folder like they should be, that you put that information in your source attribute ex: src="images/pic.jpg"

  • The name of the High School you are attending as the page title
  • A header on the page that has your name, and Outstanding Freshman at ABC High School on the top line
  • Later we will use the <style> tag to make h1 Blue (you might need a hex code to do that)
  • Include a table that has your class schedule that you want for next year
  • Create 4 columns (that means 4 of the <td></td> items in each row)
  • I used the Cntrl+C and Cntrl+V a bunch to paste in each row - it should only take a couple of minutes once you get the first row done - then replace the contents with your information. This is what my code looked like part way through (with a bit hidden ;)-->
  • After the table - you need a picture of the car that you want to drive there your senior year (it should be saved in a folder in that table folder named images)
  • Want a 4? Use an image editor to put yourself in the driver's seat!

 

done

Assignment #3

Use the W3 schools CSS reference to figure out how to make the styles for font colors and choices affect your <td> items.

Choose a color scheme that goes with the High School that you are going to.

 

Assignment #4

We will be taking apart computers - you will be making a web page on how the hardware works and what it does.

Please go through the following web page:

http://www.gcflearnfree.org/computerbasics/7

Begin today with the Inside of a Desktop Computer. You will be assigned into 3 groups. You will put your computer together and turn it on - making sure that it works.

Now identify all of the parts shown in the video, and make a web page (or a word document if you want to earn a maximum of a 2 on this assignment) to describe each part. You may wish to use a table to arrange your information. You must have the name, a description of what each part's function is, and then describe it in your own words. Here is an example of a table that shows what you need:

Name of hardware Description (cited) Image of the Item In your words - what it does
CPU      
Heat Sink      

 

Learning Target ALWAYS: Be Polite
