High School Musical

Today we held our first Studio 218 of the semester, and I think it was a success. At least, no one's ears bled!

I'm so impressed by the hard work and good spirits of my students! Today we covered a lot of material about creating a webpage from scratch: understanding that webpages consist of HTML code which describes the structure and content of the page, and CSS code which describes the page's format; creating HTML code in a plain-text file; identifying HTML elements with tags; and distinguishing between elements which are containers and which are empty, and between start and end tags. Not to mention special character entities!

It was a lot to take in, and I know that there’ll be lots of questions on Monday. But that’s okay: lots of questions means lot of effort, and anything worth learning is worth a struggle!

I'm also pleased that students have started using the Discussion Forum of our class wiki. It’s great seeing students help one another advance their computer-studies knowledge and skills!

Today my students—and Studio 218—rocked!
