Transcript PowerPoint: Getting Started

 This
project will use Microsoft Word to design a
web page. Information on the web page will
incorporate the progress that has been made on
previous projects. Projects 1 through 5 can be
accessed from a student’s logged in page. Press
button:
and log in on the class web site. Then, use any
information shown for this project.
Finding the Information
 There is more than one way to retrieve
information from previous projects. Click
on the windows icon:
and type in your
name for the search box. This will display
files saved with your name. Also, try typing
in things like “project 1” to see all saved
projects from a certain unit. Most files will
be found in the Documents or on the
Desktop.
Starting MSWord For Web Design
 Microsoft Word can be used to
create a simple web page.
After opening up the Word
program, click “Save As”
under the Windows Icon in
the upper left corner. Then,
select the “Single File Web
Page” option from the “Save as
Type” drop down menu. The
save as option is very
powerful.

There are 3 ways to copy items from the All
About Me Project to the MSWord web
page. A student can right click on the slide
in the “Slides” panel on the left side of the
screen and select “Copy”. A student can
press the “Print Screen” button on a
PowerPoint window and paste the results
to MSWord. A student can copy and paste
individual elements from PowerPoint such
as text boxes or pictures. Try a mix of these
3 to make the web page look professional.

 Simple Web Design: Getting Started
 Finding the Information
 Starting MSWord For Web Design
 Copying Data From PP to Word
 This
project permits a student to use work
from previously accomplished units. For
example, there were at least 10 slides
from Unit 1 so a student could take 3 or
more of those slides for the summary on
the web page. Make certain that each
section has at least items. In some cases,
the whole document fits well (like project
2). Students should choose what works
best for their individual projects.
Using Word Art
 Word art is a fast way to make any MSOffice document
look nice. Click on “Insert” and “Word Art”. Word has
different art than PowerPoint. A student can create
the art in one program and then copy/paste it to
another. Try adding Word art from PowerPoint to your
word document to see if it suits the document better.
With practice, word art can quickly make the page
look great.
 It
is okay to add additional
supporting graphics, pictures, ideas
or animations. However, keep in
mind that this is sectioned in the
final part of the rubric and can be
worth a maximum of 20%. Don’t
focus on the aesthetics until the
other requirements have been met.
Perform the functions designated by
the rubric in order.
Viewing In Internet Explorer
 In this project, students make web pages.
If a student double clicks on a web page,
it opens in a web browser. However, to
edit the page, right click on the file and
select to open with MSWord. Remember
this if a document is not letting a student
make changes. By opening a document in
edit mode and not just double clicking on
it, a student can edit a MSWord web page.

•Strategies for Successful Content
 The web page must balance between having a lot of
great information and not taking forever to load.
Text tends to load very quickly so don’t be shy
about writing a lot. Pictures tend to take a little
longer. Animation and movies is the longest
because they use the largest files. Try to have a
balance in making the page look nice but not take
forever to load.
 It
is important that information be
presented in a way that is not only
informative but also aesthetically
pleasing. People will close a page
that looks ugly. People will close a
page that does not have good
information. First, make sure the
information is strong. After the
information is strong, a web page
designer can work on making it look
nice.
Managing Multiple Pages
 Some times it is best to have information on a separate
page so an Internet user can load less stuff. In our
project, we will set it all up on one page. However,
most commercial and organizational web sites have
too much stuff to put in one page. To do this they have
links to other pages that are all shown on a page called
“Index”. The “Index” file functions like the index of a
book except that it can use links to automatically get a
person what they really want.
 It
is okay to add links to other
student’s web pages and to the
projects already created by a
student. Find out the files names
that you can link to by logging into a
student account on the main class
page. To refer to a friends page link
in the format of
“../scottbunin/1.pptx” to get to the
PowerPoint made by student
“scottbunin”.
Review

 Strategies for Successful Aesthetics
 Managing Multiple Pages
 Links to your BFF
 When
web pages get created on the
Internet, the best ones get more
links and are more likely to be found
on things like a “google search”. To
have a page that everyone visits,
peers have to acknowledge that your
page is worth something and link it
from their page. Some times it is a
good idea to link other people’s
pages in hopes that they will
reciprocate and put a link to your
page on their page.
The Topic Sentence and How it
Makes the Paragraph Easy
 The first sentence in a paragraph tells the
reader what the paragraph is about. If
answering a question, rewrite the statement
in question for. For example: “What did
you learn in Unit 3?” could be answered by
“In unit 3 students learned how to run a
constitutional business”. Setting up a topic
sentence makes the rest of the paragraph
flow better.
Each body sentence makes a statement that
supports the topic sentence. For example:
 In
Unit 3 we had to study the constitution to
get the case answers correct
 Then, we took the information and put it in
Excel.
 Finally, we summarized the information with
both words and graphs.
 Be
sure to stay on the topic sentence and to
use at least 3 examples or more.
Closing the Paragraph
 Writing the final sentence of the paragraph is
important to keep the flow of the text and let
the reader expect a new topic. Each author will
use their own style. One way to end a
paragraph well is to restate the topic sentence
in a summative way. Another is to talk about
how you feel on a topic. For example: “We
learned a lot about how to run a business in
Unit 3.” “I really enjoy being the boss of a law
firm.”

Organizing the Graphics
 The pictures, colors, dividers, titles and
sections of a web page usually look best with
some congruency. Make it so that each
section is divided in a similar way so that if a
reader wants to find a certain section, it is
easy to see where one part ends and another
begins. Colors and flair can make things look
nice. However, try to keep the style
consistent or it will look like a little kid made
the page instead of the mature young adults
in this class.
 Even
though this project is made in MSWord
it still generates html code in the format for
the Internet. To see the code, open it up in
a web browser by double clicking the file and
then click “view” and “source”. Inside the
source code computer commands such as
<img src = “image001.gif“> tell the
computer in a very specific language how to
display an image. Eventually, students can
learn how to write these commands them
selves. For now, students save time by
letting MSWord do it.
College Majors: Web Design
 Any college student these days can benefit from being
able to design on the web. However, some students
can specifically focus their studies on how to create the
latest and greatest web applications. The more
powerful designs will need an understanding of
Computer Science and Information Systems. Business
majors, education majors, communication majors and
many others will want some basic understanding so
they can get their ideas out to the world.
A
new generation of web pages called
“web 2.0” is becoming popular. These
new pages not only give the user
information, but allow people to interact
in creative ways. Invent the newest
Internet sensation such as “Facebook”
and you too can go down in history with
wealth and success. This powerful,
developing technology can bring
insurmountable success. However,
inventing something that no one has seen
before takes hard work and dedication.
