This website was originally dedicated to serving my high school students with information about the classes I was teaching. Since I have retired from teaching and from the technology work sector, the website is more of a vanity/hobby site. I keep adding to it, here and there, writing articles and lessons, more for my own amusement and to keep my mind awake.
If you don't know what Hello, world! is, click here.
The three main areas of my website, as shown below, are:
Blog
Although this website is mostly devoted to technology, the writings I post here are not
necessarily technical. I also post stuff I have done and written about, like building furniture or
teaching.
Articles
These articles are all related to areas of technology I like playing around with. Mostly
I like database tech (SQL), HTML (of course), CSS, and a smattering of other stuff.
Lessons
Although I only taught school for a short time, it was very important to me. Here are some
of the lessons for my class in computer science. They include several areas of CS in general
with a focus on programming in Python. Of course, they are created for high school students.
For my first attempt at building furniture, I thought I would try to find something simple and easy. After looking at a plethora of articles and videos, I narrowed it down to either an entryway sofa table or a blanket chest. I finally settled on trying to make a Shaker style chest. It turned out to be neither simple or easy.
In this article, which is not meant to be extensive by any means, we will take a quick look at using the HTML
element <video> which was new with implementation of HTML5. You can very simply add videos to your web page
using this element along with the <source> element.
Four lessons in a series on drawing with Python 3 using the web application, CodeSkulptor3. These lessons use
a module called "simplegui" for drawing and animations. Covered in these lessons
are; using CodeSkulptor, using functions, defining functions, using x and y coordinates, graphing objects, comparison operators,
and if, elif, and else statements.
