Week 1 Daily Worklist
Week 1 for our Creative Labs Web Design Studio
GOALS: This 1st week we will introduce elements of design, free template website creation sites (primarily weebly.com), and intro to Dreamweaver.
ROUTINES: Every day, sign-in. Then sign-in to your students.weebly.com site, and work on building/creating/improving your website. [Note: if students need more challenge, then can move onto learning Adobe Dreamweaver ahead of the class, and/or create/work-on a website they have already created.]
Once students like their changes and improvements to their website, they are encouraged to "Publish" it and click on their live website URL address to see if their changes are there.
Please start bookmarking, saving, and printing out some of your favorite websites, and mark them up for their basic design elements: heading, site bar navigation, URL address, title, etc.
At the END of your 1st day, in the last 5 minutes of the class, go to our class's blog page and enter how your class and day here has been so far.
