If class readings are assigned for the week:

For next week, I definately want to bring some material to work with. I will probably work on my project this week and leave only tweeking for next class period. I like the format of the class so far. I like being able to work while there is instruction going on. I do need to pay attention to certain things, but for now I am feeling more comfortable with FrontPage. I am probably going to try to toy with some Adobe Flash functions. I would like to make a banner and some interactive content. I wouldn't mind helping my classmates, if they need it.

3.Students will discuss the assigned class readings and indicate how the articles have impacted their web development.

At this point, I am not aware of any class readings or articles. However, there are several things that I read that impact my Web Development.

January 28 Class

Tonight we are discussing the creation of websites. I am anxious to get started. I know the basics of web design, but am looking forward to learning something new. I plan to keep up with all assignments in my class. To date, I have been checking blackboard and waiting to see what is next.

Adobe Premiere

I have been messing with Chroma Key in Adobe Premiere. Here is a video.

No Class on 1/21

I found out today that there is no class tonight on 1/21. I was disappointed and glad at the same time. I needed a little time to get some things done. I have been toying with the website using FrontPage. It's located at http://www.siue.edu/~schudso . I am sure that I can get most elements done. I am intrigued about how to make my website more instructional.

Web Design

I am excited to starting this new class. I am familiar with basic web design, but not DreamWeaver. I have been toying some with Adobe Flash and Adobe Premiere. I will probably do something for my project with video using Green Screen or Chroma Key. I will probably be at most classes.
