Juniors learn HTML to develop websites

This week we went over HTML. It was interesting doing the coding for a website. It goes to show just what all goes into every word, font, text, or link in a site. Then we also made a website using Dreamweaver. It was much simpler than using HTML.

Students start BPA contests Mid-November

This week (Nov. 9-11) in lab we had a shorten week. Only had three days of starting on our contests for next year.

Everyone is required to do a judged contest and IT Concepts, then a contest of their choice. Most of the judged contests are a group project.

Wednesday we set up for Career Days by practicing each part. So we didn’t do much with this shorten week. Thursday and Friday was off for the students because of Sophomore Career Days. Where the Sophomores come in from all the high schools to see all the programs done here. In the Information Technology lab, we are going to show about how to take apart a computer, show them how to work in Flash and Photo shop, also we are going to be showing them video.

Colleges that have visited us were: DeVry (Columbus), Ohio State University - Lima (Lima), Clark State Community College (Springfield), University of Northwestern Ohio (Lima)

Halloween Animated Greeting Cards

Information Technology I students had the chance to practice what they've learned in Flash animation by creating animated greeting cards. Students were allowed to create any kind of spooky Halloween card that they liked.

OGT Week / Dreamweaver

We had OGT week this week, so it was a weird week. Half-day students had to be Tuesday and Thursday from 8:30 to 11:06. If full students had to take OGT’s they had to take OGT’s from 8:30 to 10:30 and then go to regular schedule from 1030:12:15.

We also did a Dreamweaver assignment to learn how to create websites.

Juniors learn computer components

ITC I students learned what all the parts are that operate their computers. They learned to identify the parts and explain their function within the computer. They then learned how to remove and replace the parts within the computers. This simulation helps them understand how to install new parts or replace broken parts if they work for a help desk.
