Things to Consider II


Things I would like to cover in the HTML section
     Basic hand coding of HTML
Knowing how to read and write HTML at a basic level has been hugely helpful for me thought the years and has allowed me to do far more with website assignments than those that didn’t understand it. The major limitation of this though is it requires us to force the students to do the long way something that takes 2 seconds in Dream Weaver…
     Image Compression (brief review)
It’s time for them to put what was taught to the test. Proper selection of image formats and compression techniques are essential to a well-made website.
     CSS and HTML formatting
Why and when to use them as a separate document and in document formatting. Limitation of this is if we are going to be 100% Dream weaver, mainly because it will do all of the formatting on its own along with proper placement of formatting code.
     Website snooping and or saving
I feel that it would be beneficial to the students to know how to save a webpage and or look at the source code of the site. I use this regularly as a part of my site build process and to help enlighten myself to the many divergent manners of programing a site.
Potential problems
     The Program
Honestly, I have never seen a program write better HTML than a programmer. We will undoubtedly run in to instances where Dream Weaver just won’t do something. As such by hand manipulation of the code will be required.
     Web Browser
Each ones a little different in how it displays and interprets data, it would be best that we standardize the browser that we will be programing for.
