Remember to check the forum if you have forgotten the advanced search techniques we went over in class, as they will certainly help with this exercise!
Instructions:
-
This is like an online scavenger hunt, where you must answers questions and encorportate them into an HTML document.
-
Form groups of 2-4 on your own (preferably your row, so you can work together).
-
Find the answers to the questions and place each answer in a webpage (NUMBER YOUR ANSWERS!)
-
The catch is that each answer must be formatted differently. In other words, in your HTML document, the answer for number 1 may be a large green font. Then the answer for number two could be a javascript alert saying "#2 is 'a pink elephant'" and number three could be an image, etc.
Winners
The top prize goes to the first group to upload an HTML document with ALL correct answers. Once your page is online (either through the 2530 media uploader, or FTP'ed to another server) post a link in the forum thread "PM Nethunt Answers."
Second place goes to the group who submits the most creative HTML document (javascript! colours! diversity in HTML coding!) by the end of class.
Prize
The winning groups will vote to decide if you want to be taken out for Pizza or Ice Cream (Ben + Jerry's) on Friday before class (July 15th at 12:15 PM).
