CEDU533 - Week 3

This week in class we reviewed each other's PowerPoints on what makes a website good, bad, or ugly. I found it interesting and helpful to take a closer look at the concrete reasons why we feel a particular reason about a site.

We also learned about Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), which have the purpose of giving a webmaster more control over page layout and display than HTML offers. As Kristine said, "It helps put the pretty into Web pages."


In a nutshell:

Content - HTML
Appearance - HTML or CSS
Interactive -Applets and Javascript

CEDU533 - Week 2

Another week of HTML, with focus on new tags and creating tables.

We also spent time in class reviewing what makes a good page layout and which colors are best suited for certain products or services. That discussion I found to be particularly interesting - the psychology of colors and marketing principles in general have always been fascinating to me.

I had considered both Psychology and Marketing as majors in my undergrad - until I learned that they each required a master's degree before a "decent" job could be obtained. So I ended up with a B.A. in Business Management and two emphases - Marketing and Leadership........then back to school 9 years later to be licensed to teach......and now comes the Master's program....who knew?!
