Week 3 Cedu 533

HTML, CSS...I think I'm becoming multi-lingual. I have learned 2 new languages in the past few weeks and they might as well be Chinese and Portuguese. I'm starting to understand it and see how I can use it in my life. I've played around and made some changes to my pages on the school district site this past week. They discourage it of course. I think it will be helpful to use the Java sites for ideas.

I enjoyed having time last week in class to try some of the things on the computer so I could ask questions when I needed help. I look forward to learning more in the coming weeks.

Week 2 Cedu 533

After another week of class and assignments I am more confused than I was before. Now we have CSS code to add to the html I didn't, and still don't understand. The tutorial was very difficult to follow, so I have no idea what I'm supposed to do with it. I think it would be helpful if we were able to try these activities on computers, as we are talking about them in class. Put it into practice, rather than just hearing/talking about it.

I enjoyed evaluating websites. There are a lot of poorly designed sites out there, but I found some really helpful, well designed ones as well. Well, if I can't be a web designer, maybe I can be a web critic...

Week 1 Cedu 533

HTML--Yikes! I am feeling so out of the loop. I missed the first session because I had parent/teacher conferences and then I left on a mission trip to El Salvador the next day. 2 days after I got home I had the entire family over for Thanksgiving. Now it's time to get back to some sort of reality and routine. I just managed to watch/listen to the first evening class. It seems so overwhelming. Now my group has to work hard this week to get things done too. They are awesome and a great help. I'm very lucky to have them. Just hope I can figure out this HTML stuff...and I thought 11 days speaking Spanish was a challenge.
