today's links the ATDP webserver how to logon to the atdp webserver. uploading your html documents and assorted accompanying files (images, audio files, etc.) you might have a website somewhere (like Wako's) which is already hosting your pages. but you should still read this, as you might want ATDP be your host site instead. web-based e-mail e-mail is the glue that holds this class together. even if you already have an e-mail account (say @aol.com for example) you may not be able to access it via a web browser. if so, this document will give you various options on getting a free web-based e-mail account. in-class e-mailing (particularly for the journal question of the day) is required. so, make sure you have a web-based e-mail account. journal question every day after the first break, i'll be posting the journal question that i'd like you to address. plan on spending 10-15 minutes writing a response and e-mailing it to me. this aspect of the class is a very important one, which i'd like you to take quite seriously. as ATDP is in a school of education, we who work here are keenly interested in how students learn, what they are interested in, and what they think about many topics of interest. homework for Wed. 6.21 (1) select an essay you have written for a class in regular school (it can be in any school subject and on any topic, as long as it's in essay form). (2) mark up that essay in HTML -- apply what you have learned in class today, or from your readings of the chapters in the pre-assignment, about basic structural and formatting HTML tags. you can see examples here from a previous Internet classroom. (Anna Lam's--she's one of your TAs--is quite interesting. also, she uses excellent hypertext linking. note that you can have TOO MANY links, so be judicious about using them.) (3) bring your essay on disk or upload it to the ATDP webserver and we'll continue to work on it in lab next Wednesday. or, if you feel you've completed the markup to your satisfaction (and even included linked pages), feel free to go ahead and upload your document/s to the ATDP server from home, using any FTP client on your home computer and Net connection. if you don't have an Internet connection (or computer) at home, don't worry; you can do the upload in the lab.
