[Year 12 IT Apps] U3-O1:Dreamweaver CC

Thu Mar 6 11:37:53 EST 2014

I have had classes where the students were not bright enough to manage
HTML5 and CSS3 code.  And to keep them moving, I have had to switch
to Dreamweaver.
With the classes that can cope, building a website from scratch, with
the floats and positioning, is so empowering. 
I hope you get a class which can do this, one year.

	I allow students to use the basic Dreamweaver templates but have an
expectation that these will be only used as a base and they must
heavily modify them to show understanding of HTML and CSS functions. I
also let them know they cannot download new templates and use them as
this does not show understanding of html or CSS. 

	I feel there is no chance in teaching them the skills required to
build a box model CSS layout including issues such as relative
positioning, different browser compatibility with the box model, the
difference between a class and id selector etc. etc…  in the time
allocated to this outcome. 

	The other choice would be to use tables to layout your page. This
does not fit with standards and would be teaching the students bad
practice.

	If people were interested in using a the box model to layout the
page.. this is a good web site. http://learnlayout.com/ [1]

	Any thoughts?

	I would expect my students to create .DWT templates for their website
to show they understand the importance of consistency across pages,
and how best to achieve that consistency. But I would have them create
the template, not use the DW templates.

	I teach them how to create templates in Expression Web (the format
and DWT extension is identical to Dreamweaver’s) .

	Hello –

	just a quick question, not that I would do this because I’d feel
guilty, but can the students use templates in Dreamweaver

	I’ve steered away from them, but I was just curious for the future.

	Thank-you, Litsa
