Favorite Sites
Spend at least part of today filling out the handout on your favorite sites. Everyone should spend time at the Web Club website.
I think everyone got a page started last week. I will go over formatting (check out the Web Links at the club and the hand-outs for fomatting info) with you and discuss each of your pages. Since we don't have a lot of time in the lab for this winter session we won't be able to do all the projects but I hope each of you at least has one piece of original art and at least one link on their pages.
Let me know if you are taking the club again, so I can begn thinking about new projects for you for the spring.

Winter Hill - Basic Web Pages
Today we will finally be making our own webpages. Using the hand-out guide, make your first page using Notepad and Explorer to preview. Since we have a lot of catch-up work to do, lets also use today to put at least one original piece of art and one link on your page.
I will work with each of you today to help you decide on the theme for your web page.
Everyone should have an index.html page ready to link together by the end of today!

Winter Hill Web Club, Feb 27th
Hello Class!
Finally, we're back in the computer lab! Welcome back and hope everyone had a great vacation! As you can see, I am not able to be with you today. Since it's been so long since we were in the lab, spend today doing three things.
Thing One: Review the Club Rules and Web Safety tips.
Thing Two: Take a look at aYour Animations (there may be a few I still need to add, let me know if you don't see yours). Each one of your animations has its own web address (URL) so you can create a link to it from your web page if you want. If you'd like to explore Animation more today, try out the Flipbook site. These animations are stored at the Flipbook site. Use somerville21@gmail.com as an email address when you save your animation. You can also explore making animations with KidPix. If you make something you'd like to put on your webpage, you can export it.
To Export art from KidPix to use on a website:
- Move your mouse so the cursor is at the top-right of the screen.
- See the little triangle? Click on that and the top menu bar will appear.
- Go to File > Export
- If it is an animation, save as Flash(fla). If it is a still image, save as a jpg.
Remember to save everything to your folder on the server!
(my computer > shared > save work here > 12st century web club > Winter Hill > your folder (if you don't have one, make one!)
Thing Three: To prepare for next week, find images, and create some original title art and buttons. Use the cooltext website, Word Art, KidPix or any art making site to make something original for your website. Save everything to your folder on the server, and remember to write down where any images you are using came from!
Use the Website Map to plan out what will be at your site.
Next week we'll get back into HTML coding and using Publisher.
Don't forget, there are lots of great resources here at the web club site!

GIF animation
Here is just one example:
This is a GIF animation. They are easy to make. As you finish your flipbooks, I will scan and convert them to GIF animations. When we get back into the computer lab, we can explore other ways of making animations for your webpages.
