Computer Science Terms! Glossary! Yay!
Today at the beginning of class we were taught ordered lists, unordered lists, and definition lists. Mr. Arkin then gave us some examples, what it would look like in an HTML file. I actually learned this by myself as I was exploring the different HTML and CSS tags on the Internet a week ago. However, I am glad Mr. Arkin went over it today because often the explanations on the Internet are not always very succinct and informative.
After the mini lesson about lists, we were asked to take out our class glossary with terms that were accumulated from day one of the semester. The assignment in class was to brainstorm "informal" definitions, and we were encouraged to use computer science terminology learned in class. Then, the homework today was to make a skeleton html file of a glossary webpage with definitions taken from the web. Of course, we would need references if it is copied and pasted.
The homework for today is: Complete a validated Glossary skeleton and save it in the Dropbox. (The dropbox is a new program introduced to us near the end of this class.)
At the moment, I am currently working on the glossary skeleton and I have created my Dropbox.
I don't have any questions today, but I just read over this class' course outline, and I found out that we are spending the next 40-60 periods learning about computer software. I managed to survive this unit, because I had some foundation and prior knowledge about webpage designing. I do hope that this unit will not be too difficult.
Overall, today was not a bad day. One big assignment was finally over and done with. Now, I am simply curious to see what will await as the classes progress.
