ifs 115 homeworks

Feb 23 - HW #4

Another easy one:

• By next class, Mar 9, complete Units I, J and P. We have been pretty zealous in following the directions of each unit in the book; do not do this for Unit P, however. You can use any HTML file you have to play with.

That's it. We will have completed Units A-J and P from the text. Pretty good...

The remaining units are:

• Units K & L & O - these units deal with publishing your site to an ISP that supports FrontPage (many do)
• Units M & N - these units deal with incorporating content from other Microsoft products into your site, like Word, Access, etc.

Feb 9 - HW #3

Homework #3 is easy:

• By next class Feb 23, you should have completed Units G & H from our text. This means that you will have completed Units A-H... Yow!

Note: I changed the Units due next class because we didn't have time to do them in class last time. I will grade your completion of Units A-H next class. Thanks... yow, bill

Over the next two weeks, it's time to focus on your project and your presentation... this is spelled out in the Projects page

Jan 26 - HW #2

OK, so the WebBoard wasn't a roaring success... "Plan B"

Due in 1 week... next Saturday Feb 2

1. Please add an IFS 115 page to your site
   • Add a folder called "ifs115" to your w: drive
   • Create a new web page in your ifs115/ folder called "index.htm". Make it simple for now, just a title, your email (as a hyperlink), and text describing that this page will be used for your IFS 115 work.
   • Add an "IFS 115" link to your top web page and connect the hyperlink to your ifs115/index.htm page.
2. Now that you have a place to put your IFS 115 work, please add the following to your IFS 115 page:
   • Clip Art site - Add a hyperlink to a page that provides clip art that you are considering using in your site. Also, add a description of the site next to the hyperlink.
   • Wallpaper site - Add a hyperlink to a page that provides wallpaper that you are considering using in your site. Please include a description of the site
   • Similar site - Add a hyperlink to a page that has elements that you admire or are considering adding to your site.
3. Decide what area of specialization you want to focus on for your project. If you are unsure, then email me, and we will start to work this out. I would add a "My project" section to your IFS 115 page... you will be adding to this (see part 2 below).

   Email me ( wikrieger@noctrl.edu ) when you are done, and I will grade your work right off your web site. Get it? If I don't hear from you by the 2nd, then you'll get a zero for this part of the homework.

Due in 2 weeks... next class, Feb 9

1. Please complete units E and F from our text. This continues the saga (units A-D, that is) that we started in lab. So, use the web that you created in lab as your starting point.
2. Complete a preliminary Design Plan for your project. Write the plan in HTML and add it to your IFS 115 page.
3. Complete a preliminary storyboard for your project. These should be crude sketches of each page you envision in your site. Bring them to class with you.
4. Work on your web site. Please add at least the following elements:
   • Tables or frames
   • Scan an image and add it to your site. The labs have scanners... ask the lab attendant for help if you aren't familiar with scanners.
   • If you want, you can move your main project web site over to FrontPage webs, but I am not requiring you to do this... yet!

I will go over all this stuff with you at the next class... be prepared!

Jan 12 - HW #1

Part 1

Due in 1 week... next Saturday Jan 19

• Please login to the class WebBoard ( IFS 115 WebBoard )
  • I have added a discussion group "Ping" for you to create a test post. Please do that.
  • (I think) WebBoard will ask you to create a login and password the first time that you visit. I suggest you use your school login.
• Surf! Spend some time minig the net for some content that you may want to use in developing your web page. Some starting points are search engines like www.google.com and www.yahoo.com. We will be compiling a list of resource sites for the class to use.

  Post your site ideas for the categories below on our WebBoard by next week. I'll check them out and will add a page of resources to our class site. Yeh?

  • Find a web site with clipart that you might use in your site
  • Find a web site with some nice background wallpaper that you might use in your site
  • Find a web site with a similar goal to yours that has elements that you find appealing. I know that Yahoo/GeoCities has a search capability on its personal web pages... www.geocities.com You may also want to try www.aol.com and click on "Home Pages"

Part 2

Due next class... Saturday Jan 26

• Get some flight time using FrontPage on your nascent web page.
  • Experiment with formatting using tables
  • Add some of the content we mined in part 1 of the homework
  • I'll peek at your progress at the beginning of class
