Jan. 7th: Intro to HTML

In much the same way as you created a poster that was both visually appealing and informative; websites seek to provide information in an accessible and appealing manner. Websites can be created using a code language called HTML or through a program that interprets the language for you and creates the webpage. Go to the school website and then open notepad and type out 3 things that are good about this webpage. Then go back to your website and find the “view source” option in the menu somewhere. If you cannot find it, ask a classmate. This language is HTML, which you will learn to speak in the next few days.
