CSS Zen Garden

by Steven Cahill

On Friday my Certificate IV students had to complete an assessment item that revolved around the task over at CSS Zen Garden.  I found this task to be beneficial to them by ensuring they only learn about CSS and designing websites without touching any of the associated HTML.  Some where frustrated that they couldn’t modify the HTML.

Some are absolutely outstanding work, especially for students who only have just touched CSS.  Stay tuned, I may look at publishing a couple of some of the outstanding work my students do.

Adobe Presenter

by Steven Cahill

So, I teach in a classroom type environment … mostly in a network lab, but I give presentations to students for theory sessions and in the past I have used PowerPoint which I loathe, I got myself a copy of Adobe Presenter recently and I am absolutely loving the engaging and interactive aspects I can now do.  Mind you I am still experimenting but already I am seeing potential for creating new dynamic content for my students.

Lovin’ it, lovin’ Adobe

I looked at Moodle as an option but 10 weeks ago I really didn’t have much experience with it, so I decided to go with something I was familiar with.  I started a Google Site.  Google Sites integrated with Google Docs I had all my basis covered.
