HTML5 – Modern Web and Semantic Elements – What?

Semantic means relating to the meaning of words and phrases. When working with HTML code and writing classes and ids (remember those?) using semantic terms will make your code a lot easier to read.

Do you know what a generic block level element is called?

Can you think of some HTML elements that are semantic? Let’s make a list

10:50 Break

11:00 – 12:25 Fall Foliage Slideshows

At the end of your slideshow or when presenting – you may talk about your images and say a few words.

  • For Sure: Point out your favorite image / explain why it is your favorite image
  • Not A Bad Idea: To share any techniques that you used – we love technical terms!
  • Indubitably: Let us know if you have improved as a photographer and why

I will ask you two questions from this group of questions:

  1. What was a challenge you faced during this project?
  2. What photography assignment did you enjoy the most?
  3. How has your study of photography changed how you approach taking photos?
  4. What type of photography do you enjoy the most?
  5. Do you plan to continue exploring photography?
  6. Have you shared any of your learning with others?

If we finish early – we’ll move on to some web work.
