Description: This assignment required the student to create
a sample for the lesson used in the Digital Graphic module, then
summarize the following: the software used to create the digital
image, the major tools used to create the image and the tasks involved
in the creation. The student must also analyze the original image's
foreground, middle distance and background attributes; name the
basic color scheme that composes the variation #1 image - complementary
colors, triad colors, etc.; and analyze how the different color
themes altered the image's meaning.
Rationale: I chose this artifact for two reasons. One, I
felt that it addressed the descriptors listed for this standard;
and, two, I felt that this artifact was a example of some of my
best work. I was more comfortable creating the graphic required
in this assignment and I felt that the results were quite good.
I'm proud of the lesson that I put together for this module and
that was reflected in the graphic that was used. I have a strong
interest in Web Development and in Digital Imaging. Being able to
combine the two interests was fun! I learned more about using gradients
and outer glow effects on text. I'm also learning more about shape
layers and how to manipulate shapes. One of my goals is to improve
my web development skills and digital graphic skills to the point
that I can teach these subjects comfortably to my classes. This
assignment definitely helped me reach this goal.
Implications for future: The future for me holds even more
web development and digital graphic manipulation. Both of these
subjects will be explored in much greater depth and I hope to pass
along this information to my classes. I'm excited about the opportunities
coming in the future. I just hope that when opportunity knocks,
it doesn't knock me down!
Reviewers Comments: Wow! This is a really neat lesson, and
your sample was great! I'm glad I'm not the student in this case,
though. I'm afraid my skills would not make it on this assignment.
I'll bet it is much harder than first appearances would make it
seem. Like your intro said "deceptively simple".

Descriptors: Web Page Design, CSS pages
Title: Teacher's Help Web Page
Course: Web Authoring Course 202-1 Module Week 2
Date Created: 12/3/02
Source: Web Pages created using Macromedia DreamWeaver 4
on a Gateway Solo laptop. Includes one graphic from Microsoft Clipart
Gallery.
Media: Macromedia Dreamweaver 4 Web Page using a external
CSS page.
Description: This assignment required me to create a web
site that would be used by a selected audience from my school. This
web site's purpose is to instruct the users in some aspect of creating
a web page or site that can be used in a education setting. Incorporated
in this web site is the requirement for me to use a CSS page to
format the common html formatting styles.
Rationale: I picked this artifact to demonstrate my skills
in Web Authoring for a couple of reasons. First of all, it was one
of only two sites that I have recently worked on that included more
than one page. Most of the assignments that we have done recently
only required a one page web and I felt that a one page web just
didn't demonstrate the skills in this Standard as well as a multiple
page web did. I used the Teacher Help Site because it's well organized,
clear, easy to use and navigate around in and it was my first experience
using CSS. I really liked CSS and hope to implement it more in the
future.
Implications for Future: I had never had the requirement
to create a web site using CSS. I found it was a very useful tool,
once I figured out how to set it up. Modifying a CSS page was really
simple, once the page existed and was linked to the web pages being
modified. I plan on using CSS on web pages and sites that I create
for myself and eventually, when I feel a bit more comfortable using
CSS, I plan on introducing it in my Web Mastery classroom. The students
will love the ability CSS gives them to be even more creative than
they already are.
Reviewer's Comments:
Sometimes plain is good. I understand what you mean, though. I
feel like the site I am created is so boring looking because I was
planning with the style sheet in mind and it kept me from formatting
the page the way that I normally would.
It works, though. It really does. :-)
