Login and go to your Google Website that you created last week.  Please do not login to Tinkercad.

NOTE: on Wednesday we will be in room 127.  Don’t come to 506.  Go straight to room 127 – it’s on the first corridor near the Student Center.

TODAY – your website.  Last week we setup your website.  Today we need to add some content.  Keep in mind that this is a public website and will be emailed home to parents/guardians.

  1. Setting up your landing page
    Go to the Project Documentation page and scroll to the bottom.  Review the description.  Today in class you will write the description about you and why you are in Principles of Technology.  Click here to see an example of a well crafted landing page.
  2. Create links and pages for the following projects:
    3d Printed Keychain
    Magnetic Ring
  3. HOMEWORK: images of you and images of something cool THAT YOU TOOK.  Have this image ready on Wednesday.
  4. HOMEWORK: take pictures of your completed keychain and ring. These pictures will appear on your website.  If you have not received your print by the end of class today let me know.

Once you have completed the above tasks you may continue your 3d design work.  This includes cleaning up and finishing your ring.
