Same Difference

Well, we didn't actually manage to get into Dreamweaver today, either.

Today's class was earlier than ususal. Lisa and I decided last week that I would henceforth start coming at 9am. So, I got to the school at around 8.30am and had breakfast in the fish n' chips shop next door. It's actually pretty decent. Think I'll have breakfast there every Wednesday from now on.

So, stepped into the school about 5 minutes early and waited for the kids to come in. As I half-expected, they didn't have time to complete their layouts during the past week. Most of them also haven't finished compiling all their stuff together. I did remember to draw up a few more example site layouts for them though, so we're starting to see some slight variety in their designs.

We also got together the eight kids who are doing the class website, and sat them down to discuss how it would turn out. I chose not to really control the discussion, but merely guide it along, suggesting some basic team techniques like taking roles and so on. Thank goodness for my experience as a team-building instructor. ;)

Overall nothing much new today. We managed to complete the layouts, and most of the students managed to type up their stuff and scan in their artwork and so on in the computer labs. We're looking set to start on Dreamweaver next week. Finally. :D
