J. Fundamentals of Web Design
Vocabulary: Using Microsoft Word - Please type the word and the definition.
Internet, Web Page, Google, Search Engine, URL, HTML, Hyperlink, Browser, Address Bar, Bookmark, Cookie, Cyber Monday, Cyberbully, Cyberspace, Hashtag, HTTP, Social Network, Spam, Spammer, Surfing, WWW,  Explorer, Firefox, Antivirus, Broadband, Domain Name, Download, Fire Wall, Home Page, IP Address, Java, Modem, Router, Proxy Server, Spyware, Wi-Fi, Intranet, Sysop, Trojan Horse, Upload, Virus, Worm,

Evaluate the results of Internet searches and the reliability of information found on Web sites.
Name and describe at least 5 things to look for to see if a website has credible information
Author – Information on the internet with a listed author is one indication of a credible site. The fact that the author is willing to stand behind the information presented (and in some cases, include his or her contact information) is a good indication that the information is reliable.

Date – The date of any research information is important, including information found on the Internet. By including a date, the website allows readers to make decisions about whether that information is recent enough for their purposes.

Sources – Credible websites, like books and scholarly articles, should cite the source of the information presented.

Domain – Some domains such as .com, .org, and .net can be purchased and used by any individual. However, the domain .edu is reserved for colleges and universities, while .gov denotes a government website. These two are usually credible sources for information (though occasionally a university will assign a .edu address to each of its students for personal use, in which case use caution when citing). Be careful with the domain .org, because .org is usually used by non-profit organizations which may have an agenda of persuasion rather than education.

Site Design – This can be very subjective, but a well-designed site can be an indication of more reliable information. Good design helps make information more easily accessible.

Writing Style – Poor spelling and grammar are an indication that the site may not be credible. In an effort to make the information presented easy to understand, credible sites watch writing style closely.

Describe how Web sites are used to communicate and exchange data.
Data communication refers to the transmission of the digital data between two or more computers The physical connection between networked computing devices is established using either cable media or wireless media. The best-known computer network is the Internet.

A very basic rule of data (files, e-mails, web pages et-cetera) transmission across the Internet, and actually a distinctive feature of the TCP/IP protocols used to move data, is that data is never transmitted “as such”. Instead, it is subdivided in so-called “packets” before transmission.

Plan a web page considering subject, devices, audience, layout, color, links and graphics.
What will your call-to-action be? Determine what you want your website visitors to do once they land on your site.
Figure out how you will get your readers to easily navigate through your site in order for them to complete your call-to-action
Create a list of keywords that you will use throughout your site in order to move your web pages up the ranks of search engines like Google, Bing, etc.
Create a web page that contains a variety of HTML elements (e.g., hyperlinks, ordered and unordered lists, images, headings, paragraph) and CSS styles.
5 Essential Elements of A Good Website

Classroom Management Plan

Horry County Schools endorses learning experiences, which include emphasis on life skills and workplace competencies. Recognizing my responsibility to meet all local standards, as well as state and national standards, I present the following expectations in my attempt to make learning as relevant and meaningful as possible. By encouraging students to follow these procedures and expectations, I will be enhancing their development of the skills and habits that are vital to a productive worker and citizen.

1.       Goals of Successful Student Management. The underlying goals of my Classroom Management Plan are that the following will take place:

–      Students will support instruction by valuing & protecting opportunities to learn.
–      Teacher and students will establish a climate of mutual respect and cooperation.
–      Teacher will establish clearly defined limits of behavior and students will respect those limits.
–      Teacher will provide opportunities for students to learn to behave responsibly.

2.       Classroom Rules. Listed below are classroom rules that I expect students to follow at ALL times.

Ø       I will respect you just as you will respect me. We all deserve to be treated with consideration and courtesy.
Ø       We have the right to disagree with one another, but we will do so in a pleasant, cordial manner.
Ø       Students should enter the classroom quietly, take your seat, and begin working on your warm-up exercise. If one is not available, you may talk quietly with your neighbor until the teacher begins.
Ø       Students should not talk or interrupt while the teacher is talking.
Ø       Students should clean their work area and stay in their seat until the bell rings.

3.       When Absent from School/Class. As a responsible student, it is expected of you to take care of all missed assignments, tests, or note taking during any absence from class. Any absence from class includes field trips, excused or unexcused absences, or any time the student is out of the class for any reason. It is the responsibility of the student, not the teacher, to take care of missed work. As a school, our expectations are that students will attend school regularly, get to class on time, conduct themselves in a way that does not infringe on the rights of others, and accept their responsibility as good school citizens. 

4. Rules for Leaving the Classroom. It is understood that students may need to leave the class on occasion. Other than necessary restroom breaks or visits to the nurse, other requests will not be allowed during class time. Students are asked to take care of other matters (phone calls, lunch or library dues, etc.) between classes, during lunch, or before / after school. Remember…

v      Students must carry a hall pass at all times.
v      Never interrupt a lesson to ask permission to leave. The student should practice patience and wait until a break in lecture or lesson has taken place.
v      One student will leave the classroom at a time.
v      Take care of your bathroom needs before you arrive to class or, if you think you will be late to class, ask as soon as you see me in the hall.

5.       Consequences of Breaking Classroom Rules. If any rules or expectations are not respected, the following consequences can be expected:
·         First action:  Student will be given a verbal warning. Note that use of profanity and any action that creates a class disturbance will result in an immediate Behavior Referral.
·         Next action: Student will be asked to stay after class to discuss the situation. Depending on the severity, a parent or guardian will be contacted immediately regarding the problem. If the behavior continues to be disruptive, a parent will be notified of the situation.
·         Final action:  Students will be referred to administration for further action. 

6.       Severe Disruptions.  In the event of a severe disruption, the above rules will be bypassed and the student will be referred to administration. A severe disruption is defined as overt refusal to follow the teacher’s instructions, fighting, vandalism, and explicit threat to the safety of a teacher, student, themselves, or any behavior that stops the class from functioning. See the SJH Student Handbook for further disciplinary actions.

7.       Rewards for Good Behavior. I believe there should be rewards for positive behavior, good leadership skills, perfect attendance, and academic achievement. Every student is  expected to act in a responsible manner, and to do their very best. Rewards will consist of verbal praises, positive feedback on report cards, certificates during awards programs, and more!
