Week Twenty (20)

Today’s Notes

  • This is the second to last day of the semester
  • Tomorrow is the last day to complete or revise work from the quarter.
  • This week we will continue working on your Web Portfolio. Be sure to look at the requirements so you know what you are doing.
  • Parts of this week will be highly independent. I will deliver a few lessons here and there depending on what your portfolio needs are and where we are at. I’d like to transition to the Animation & Game Dev unit when portfolios are complete.
  • This week’s goal is to finish the portfolio. Those that are complete will share out on Friday. Alternative day will be Monday. After that, the deliverables of the project are considered late and will impact the portfolio grade.
  • Done is better than perfect! Know your deliverables. Manage your time.
  • Visitors tomorrow from Colchester: 10:05 – 10:30 and 11:05 – 11:30. Stay tuned.

9:50 Performance Tasks Share Out

This morning you are going to meet with at least two people to review your performance tasks. Your performance tasks are the things you’d like a user of your site be able to do / find / interact with.

If your user has a good experience and can find what they are looking for then you are on your way to building a great website and UX (user experience)

Sticky Note Showdown

The sticky note showdown is a declaration of what you are going to accomplish today. Write on your sticky note what you intend to complete today. Write your name on it. Paste it under the “To Do” section on our class KanBan Board on the Whiteboard. At the end of the day, you will be able to remove the sticky note and proclaim yourself the showdown winner. If you don’t complete it, it will be there tomorrow and you lost the showdown.
