Class Hours: 9:40 – 2:05
Mr. Cronin
Notes
- Welcome to Tuesday!
- We are going to have 10 visitors this afternoon. Let’s take a look at how this changes our schedule.
10:05 Attendance and Article
10:10 Web Design
Review of what we did Monday in CodePen in VS Code, writing separate files.
- Absolute Positioning
- Floats
- 3 Types of Styles
- Saving images to use in our projects (something we can’t do with CodePen easily)
10:50 Morning Break (10 minutes)
- 10 Minute break – you have to exit the room.
- When the door near the TV is open, you are welcome to come back in.
Each week we will upload our work on Monday as a class. I will then present your work to the class. Every week we will pick a new student to proactive giving constructive criticism. Constructive criticism is a type of feedback that offers specific and actionable advice to help employees to improve. In the professional setting we need to be to talk professionally about the work, even if you don’t “love” the person who created it.
If selected, you will pick 1 thing that works, and 1 thing to improve upon next time. Remember we are separating the Design from the Designer. We are looking for actionable input.
Today Lee will give Constructive Criticism.
11:30 Web Design Step by Step
Today we will work with Vermont band “The Rustics“.
This morning we are going to start working on the idea of “see a layout / create a layout“. Very soon your web design ability will give you the … ability to code anything that you see.
We are going to use a new HTML5 element – <figure>. This element is used to represent self-contained content, typically referenced as a single unit from the main flow of the document. It’s suitable for images, diagrams, photos, code listings, etc.
We are going to do this twice, once with absolute positioning, and with floats.
Any extra time will go toward production, as we don’t have PM production time due to our visitors.

1:50 Afternoon Break (10 minutes)
- 10 Minute break – no being forced to leave today!
2:00 Speed Design
Speed Designs are 10 minute sprints in CAWD where we practice. It could be any medium – 3D, 2D, video, programming, etc.
2:25 “19 Minutes”
4 of 5 days per week we will end our day in CAWD with the “19 Minutes” of silent reading. Closing down our day with silent reading provides many benefits:
- Improve Literacy Skills / Reading Stamina
- Create space for a small reading meditation where we can disconnect from the world and get lost in a story
- Unplug
At 2:44 each day I will come to 3 students and ask for a 1 sentence explanation of what happened in your story over that day’s reading session. It is neat to hear little pockets of a story, here and there.
2:45 Dismissal
