Web Design Unit

Hey New Media students,



Sorry guys-the HTML we will be learning is
HYPERTEXT MARKUP LANGUAGE!

I've put together some great links for you to begin exploring how HTML codes/tags are the basic building blocks of all websites.

Please have a look at the following links and start thinking about how you would like your own student home page website to look and how you would like it to work.

A good way to begin planning your own website is to sketch-out the design on paper and then go through some of the problem solving techniques we have discussed earlier in identifying how to build features into your design using the HTML coding commands.

1. W3schools.com
2. web source
3. html code tutorial
4. web monkey html codes
5. html codes

Also, see this site to get an idea how much it might cost to have a website built:

Last but not least see this link for Adobe Golive Basics

CNMT New Media students,

Please share your thoughts and perspectives on what it means to you to be "Growing up online"
Are there any topics/issues introduced/explored in the Frontline film that were especially meaningful to you? Also, does the viewing of this film change your perspective on being a beginning web designer/developer?

Please post ASAP...

Mr. Casas
