Unit 10 - Final CTEC 115 Blog Post - HTML

Here is the link to the web page I created for CTEC 155 http://twoplayfulotters.com/student/shanelucas.html.

Several years ago I had the opportunity to create my own, very extensive retail web site and I did so using Microsoft Front Page. That was quite an adventure and a great learning experience. Until returning to school this year I had not had the need or desire to use HTML. This quarter I had two classes (including this one) that required the use of basic HTML to create a web page for familiarity with process. I think this is a fun exercise and very easy to learn with the free and readily accessible tools.

In the context of our digital age (free web 2.0 tools) and education, I do not know that the average student would/will have need to use HTML, however I think this basic exposure is relative to our course material since everything was Internet based. It is also helpful to give a general understanding of what makes a web page work. I found it to be a time worthy class period. By the way I did not use the same web page for both classes, I used some of the same elements and framework, but make significant variations as well.

Thanks for sharing knowledge Instructor Bullock. I would recommend for students to enroll for this class during their first or second quarter, and definitely before taking any ENG& classes if they wish to receive maximum benefit.
