Recitations are mostly about getting the tasks done.
Tasks for today: Task 01.01, 01.02, & 01.03

Note: I have added some extra screen shots on a few of the slides that are not in the video. The Slide show is fairly self explanatory so you may not even need to watch the video.
Browser
The recommended browsers for web development are Firefox and Google Chrome. You will need a web browser for testing your website; either of these will work just fine. Avoid using Mac specific (Safari) or Windows specific (Edge or Explorer) browsers as a primary testing tool for web development.
Value Added Grades
Forum Posts
VALUE ADDED ITEM
There are eight total forum posts. The first is your introduction, Task 01.01. The following seven can be on any topic that you wish to post. Some of these might be about something you read in one of your newsletters. Write two to three paragraphs on why you find this article interesting and how it relates to your interests, or passions, or concerns. This is not a formal report. You do not have to summarize the article. Some of the articles can be rather long.
The forums are structured into numbered folders and there is an automatically generated "Authored by" column—so no need to add your name and forum post number in the title. No points off if you do this, but it is best to use a good, short title instead.
That said, it is okay to put your name in the title of your introduction post. Or you could use a short title to mention what is most important in your life like dance, judo, gaming, music, family, etc.
- You will need to scroll down to the 603 and 604 sections to make your post. It is easy to post in the wrong section.
- You do not need to post any of your forum text in the assignments. Simply make the forum post in the appropriate section and folder. If you like to check off boxes and need to submit something, just put done or completed in the submitted text box.
Comment on Peer's posts
VALUE ADDED ITEM
You should make at least one comment on a peer's post sometime this semester. I will find your comments and grade them in the process of reading the forums.
Starter
VALUE ADDED ITEM
During the semester each of you will be given the opportunity to present one of your forum posts at the start of class. A starter is not a separate forum post. It can be any of your forum posts. Note: It is worth three points and must be done in one of the recitation sessions on or before the final class. If the thought of doing a starter seems overwhelming, I will be glad to help you plan a short effective starter. Hint: make one of your forum posts something that you love and find easy to talk about.

Professionalism
VALUE ADDED ITEM
Characteristics of Professionalism
Everything in this class is about empowering you to meet the complex demands of these very challenging times. This grade is not to cause you to worry or be anxious. Think of it as a gift. It is roughly 5 points that you don't have to earn. Be nice, kind, and communicative. Professionalism does not equal perfectionism.
There is nothing to submit for this grade item. Dr. Bergquist and I will wait until after the final class to input this grade into Sakai.
The difference between being nice and being kind
To err is human, to forgive is divine.
