__Concepts Covered__

 * Universal Design
 * Extensions on Google Earth usage.
 * Website Management



__Period Overview__
Today we went over:
 * We reviewed the concept of universal design by applying it to "Royksopp," a video on You Tube.
 * We explored new uses of Google Earth.
 * We learned how to use our KU websites and personalize the material on them, then we worked on doing so.



__Notes__
Getting Started : 1. Go to You Tube 2. Type in “Remind Me” 3. Find the “Royksopp” video and watch it Or go here: media type="youtube" key="lBvaHZIrt0o&hl=en" height="355" width="425" This video demonstrates important principals of Universal Design: Continuity—it is important that as concepts change, main ideas remain. Transition—other than acting as a static medium, it continues to move. Language barriers—any one of various Icons—graphics convey information. Color Coded—consistent, easy to understand Motion—in most consistant way possible, dots moving, effective because you know what is going on. Google Earth: Go to Google Earth on your Desktop. How to interact with: 1. Placemark—click on yellow Thumb Tack at the top of the screen, click it, type in a label, and you will create a placemark. Ex. Demonstrate a specific location of a whaling site for a geography project 2. Add A Path—click three connected triangles, label the name of the path (ie whaling path), go directly over to the map and begin clicking the places on your map (DO NOT HIT OKAY- GO DIRECTLY OVER TO THE MAP TO BEGIN LAYING OUT YOUR MAP) 3.Add Polygon—click on rectangle box at top of screen, label it, give it a description (just type them in) Changing your KU Webpage: Go to WinSCP Enter login info Click on Login Will fingerprint computer. Click on Public HTML Right Click on Index File (Brings up options) Click edit Will bring up notepad Go to people.ku.edu/~yourkuusername You will need to keep this up to make sure the changes you make work. Change picture Change Title:
 * 1) find a picture of yourself and download to your desktop
 * 2) drag picture to image file on WinsSCP (place it under images)
 * 3) Go into code by right clicking index and chosing edit—look through tags until you find the image tag (img) and change the word “frontpage” to whatever you called your picture.
 * 4) Click the little disk icon to save.
 * 5) Look at your page to make sure it worked
 * 1) Go through same process above to get into index code.
 * 2) Right above, change to make it your own name.
 * 3) Look at the page to make sure it worked.

Other changes: You need to read through the information on the index page and change the other text. Underneath --START HERE- Change to your name, KU email, and probable degrees. Change Bio: Change Philosophy:
 * 1) Look at Bio page to determine what will need to be changed.
 * 2) Close out the index and go back into the public_html and select bio.
 * 3) In the code page change all of the information about yourself to be about you instead of Sam Spade.
 * 1) Make changes to reflect you instead of Sam Spade above.
 * 2) Go down to code and find  Web Resource Title 
 * 3) Change http://www.ku.edu/ to websites that you will use in your classroom—your wiki or you tube for instance.
 * 4) Also change Web Resource to the title of the corresponding website.
 * 5) Do this for all four of these Web Resources
