A couple student examples - Websites and podcasts

Last month I posted some information about web design projects for high school.  I don't have a lot of great examples of sites yet, but I wanted to show a couple to illustrate how we're using Weebly for a basic site, picture slideshow and blog.

Here are two sports sites from the class:

• That's Not Turrble
• Harley's Sports

On the second site the student has posted his podcast project, both in audio and video format.  If you want to see the video as an example of the final project, here's the link.

Website Design Lessons for High School Digital Media Class

We started some basic website design lessons this week in Digital Media class at the high school.  We use free accounts at Weebly.

These lessons get the students thinking about the area of interest that they will focus on for the site.  They will get a chance to write some initial content, but the idea is we will continue to develop the sites as a place to show finished products as the semester continues.

The first three assignments are:

• Creating graphics for the site - We use GIMP.
• Writing the initial content
• Setting up the three main pages of the site in Weebly

If you're interested in modifying those documents, let me know and I can share them with you in Google Docs format.

Student examples will be posted in the weeks ahead.
