PERIOD 2 FINAL EXAM

The exam has several different sections. Each will involve creating different types of files. None will have anything to do with answering true/false or multiple choice questions. We haven’t had any of those all year, and I certainly don’t intend to start now.

Section I Website design with VISUAL PAGE 35 points
Create a folder named after yourself, plus the word EXAM
Use Visual Page to create four webpages inside this folder
One of these pages must be named after you
The other three can be named any appropriate name you choose for them
The page named after you must have links to the other three
The other three must have links back to the first page
All four pages must have either a background color or picture
The “start page” (meaning the one named after you) must have the name of the SCHOOL APPROPRIATE topic of this website
One of the other pages must have an essay of not less than two paragraphs of at least two complete sentences each about some LEGAL/SCHOOL APPROPRIATE activity you enjoy
Another page must contain at least two images associated with this activity
The remaining page must have hyperlinks to at least three websites out on the Internet dedicated to this activity.


Section II Wikispaces 35 points
Using the wiki of which you are already a member, please do the following:
Create a new wiki page, naming after yourself plus the words “final exam”
On this page, create at least five external links to websites having to do with any ONE of the following people who have been important in the development of the computer industry:
Steven Wozniak
Phil Katz
Shawn Fanning
Douglas Engelbart
Sergei Brin and Larry Page
Linus Torvalds
H. Edward Roberts
Tim Berners-Lee
Jerry Yang and David Filo
C. J. Rapp

Beneath these links, please write an essay of not less than three paragraphs of at least two complete sentences each about the contributions made to computers or computer culture by the person or persons you found five links for
If possible, please find and upload an image of this person to your wiki page; however, if it proves to be taking too darned long to accomplish this, do not worry about it.

Section III Blogging 35 points
Log in and make a post to our blog of not less than three paragraphs of at least three sentences each about what your plans are after school is finally over.

Cheers,
Mr. L
