Just like this cool computer dude from : http://media.merchantcircle.com, we looked closely today----we looked closely at coding for positioning and at replacing inline styles with external style sheets.
We started off right away with a step-by-step activity on positioning in CSS. Our .html file created 4 colored boxes on the display. We changed the codes for the position of the boxes on the screen then watched how our changes affected the display.We learned that we can set the position as "relative" to the objects above and below, or that we can make it be "fixed" so that it stays at the same place on the screen. We also learned that if we don't tell the browser to set "margin: 0" that it will automatically create a white margin space around whatever we want it to display.
Then we had a meeting with all of ITA to talk about new rules regarding movement between rooms and leaving the building by 4:15 PM.
After the meeting, we began working on creating external style sheets to replace inline display of styles. This activity was challenging for many of the students, although Juan M., Juan A., DJ and Aubrey seemed to catch on fairly quickly.
We were relieved to take a brief break and then everyone got into BTW groups to work on organizing the files in the network drive. Students also took a few minutes to blog.
