Advanced Web Design (AWD)

Welcome to Advanced Web Design!! BOOKMARK MY BLOG! We will be using this site throughout the course. There is also a link from the school website to it.

1) Please read over the course syllabus.

2) Please download, print, and have this contract signed before 2/4/11. This will count as a grade.

3) Weekly Assignment-
On the last day of the school week, you must have researched, read, and summarized a technology related article to be presented in class. The summary must be created in Google Docs and shared with me each week. You mus put it in your own words. Do not read the article verbatim. Use websites such as: news.com, cnn.com, businessweek.com, etc and visit the technology areas of those sites. Find an article that interests you, read it, summarize it then you will present this article to the class that week. A class discussion on articles is strongly encouraged.

The articles can be new products, reviews, and other various technologies. Remember, technology is a very broad term and is not just computers. These articles will introduce you to new websites, terminology, and products that you may not be familiar with.

This assignment will count towards your Class Participation/Homework grade. If you are absent on the last day of the week, you are exempt from that week’s article. If you are absent the day before the last day of the week, you are required complete the assignment. Completing these assignments will boost your average. Failure to complete them will result in a 0% for that week.
