What We Did:

• We started our multi-page website project

2.9: Project: Multi-Page Websites

• Connect multiple web pages into one website using hyperlinks

After learning about how to link web pages to one another, students are finally able to publish the website they have been working on. In this lesson, they link together all the previous pages they have created into one project, create a new page, and add navigation between the pages

Grading reminder: This year we have begun to put “Missings” into the Infinite Campus Gradebook if student’s work is not turned in at the time we grade.  We were asked to do this by the office. I will make a note if a student is absent or if something is incomplete. I always welcome my students to keep working on their assignments if they are unhappy with the grade they earned.  The goal is to learn and keep growing their skills, so I’m happy if they’d like to go back and make improvements to their work. If a student is absent, I will send home missing work and they need to let me know when they’ve “turned it in” in their folder online via email.  Missings can be changed easily and do not have to be the final grade if the students re-submits or turns in their work for the first time if they were sick. We want students to understand what happens if they don’t complete work, which is why we have been asked to put in the missings.  And like I said, this can be changed easily once students hand in their work. At the end of the semester students will be told a date in advance for when grades will be finalized. This will give them time if they have any missing assignments to complete them and turn them in. While my goal is for students to learn, it is also a goal for students to stick to deadlines, be responsible for their work, etc. I would highly encourage them to stay up to date with their assignments. Please let me know if you have any questions about this.
