Subject: seniors are honored...regular class on Friday...

Hi 021 students,

     On Friday, we will have a PowerPoint handout and presentation
that will show you how to make a cool web site published PowerPoint
presentation and publish it to your web site.

     I will have a handout and go over the material so you know how
to best create and publish your PowerPoint presentation.  Hopefully,
you can see an automated presentation where the presenter does not
even have to touch the mouse, where each slide is timed to appear
1 minute after the previous slide (or 30 seconds, or whatever) is
shown.

     On Tuesday at 10 a.m. for our final exam period will be a
Ghostbusters, Pretty Woman, Dances With Wolves trilogy, with appropriate
tributes also paid to Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing and Macbeth,
and perhaps a tribute to Wayne's World with a little dash of
There's Something About Mary or City of Angels thrown in for good measure.

     Thanks for the great discussion today in class.  Lets try to keep
it alive for the next two meetings.

     There will be a quiz at the end of the Ghostbusters final exam,
and you will have an opportunity to do some extra credit and turn it in
by the end of finals week after you see the presentation, if you so
desire.

     Your Ghostbusters PowerPoint presentation can be turned in (you
actually mail me the URL) anytime, but you can feel free to do it AFTER
our final exam at a convenient later time in your final exam week
schedule.

     The CD-ROM lab on Visual Programming can be turned in on the
day of the final at the Ghostbusters session, or you have the option
of doing a command button in PhotoShop that has your name or initials
or something unique to you on it and sending me the URL when you are done.
You need to do all the Explores and the Steps for the CD-ROM, but its
a good one to do to more appreciate the Ghostbuster's presentation.
Page 706 and 707 of the textbook have the CD-ROM for Visual Programming.

     You do EITHER the CD-ROM lab on pages 706 and 707 or the personally
PhotoShop designed button for your web page.  If you want to do both,
I will just have to give you extra credit for that, so that is okay too.

     If anyone wants to, a PowerPoint presentation published to the
web that reworks some of the ideas of today's class about separating
WHAT from HOW and the UNDERSTAND IT versus the PLAN IT phases illustrated
by the publish sorted by unique random student code the sorted quiz
scores would be very useful.
