Weave-Your-Own-Web

=Weave Your Own Web - Teaching Web Design in the classroom= Anthony Della Rosa North Plainfield Public Schools www.nplainfield.org I teach 2 web design courses, one in the Middle School which is a 6 week rotation class and the other is an Advanced Web Design course in the High School. 8th grade students learn web page design using HTML & CSS using Textedit and Pagespinner .The Advanced class (which is a full year course) students first learn HTML & CSS, then learn to build Web sites using Adobe Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Flash and Photoshop CS4.

The purpose of this showcase is to demonstrate what we teach students taking web design in the North Plainfield school district. I also plan on sharing resources for teaching web design that include blogs, online tutorials and people I follow on Twitter.
