1. One Drive Application Check
- Hopefully by now you have created a folder on One Drive called Web Development 10. If you haven’t yet, please do so.
- Now we are going to utilize the One Drive Application that is installed on your computer.
- First, see if it is already activated in the bottom right of your desktop task bar.
- If you can’t find it, use the windows key/menu on the bottom left of your screen to search for it.
- Once it appears on the bottom right of your desktop task bar, right click the icon and select settings.
- Here you will be able to choose which folders from your One Drive account will be accessible on the current computer you are sitting at.
- If you want to switch computers or you have to use a different one, you’ll need to do this process again if you want to access the One Drive App and utilize it’s function.
- Once you have selected your Web Development Folder, it should appear in File Explorer when you open the One Drive “storage space”. These files can now be accessed offline and will update as soon as your computer has an internet connection.
2. Find your website from Grade 9 on WordPress
- You can start by clicking the log in button at the top left
- Your username and password should be your school e-mail and password.
3. Create a new page called Web Development 10
- See if you can figure out how to create a new page (NOT A NEW POST)
- Call it Web Development 10
- Add details about yourself by using the following guiding questions (create a list using Notepad or Microsoft Word):
- Bio – Facts about you – Try using any of the following to describe a bit about yourself. Use whatever you feel comfortable sharing but try to understand how connecting with your readers is important, so sharing information to help build connections helps your reader understand where you are coming from.
- elementary and middle school you went to or where you were before Terry Fox, where you grew up, how many languages you speak, activities or hobbies you enjoy, clubs at school you are a part of, describe your family, what kind of animals you like, if you have a job, your favourite food, movies, etc.
- Random thoughts, quotes, or famous people that inspire you
- Add images using http://unsplash.com/ or http://www.pexels.com/ that reflect your interests
- Try playing around with the WordPress functions for the page – see what you can add and manipulate! For now, try to avoid the use of plugins – we’ll get there!
- Be prepared to share what you did so the class can learn from you about how you were able to change/create something.
