Hex Code Color Chart

I stumbled upon a website that has a great way to help find hex colors for your website. I have trouble finding a color like "gold" in the typical hex code color chart. I have trouble telling the difference between "yellow" and "gold" with the tiny color squares offered in most sites.

The site in this link allows you to search for a color by name (ctrl-f using the browser's find feature worked nicely) and then get the corresponding hex code. I found it very helpful.

Superheroes

As a class activity students in my Computer Skills 2 classes were asked to create their own Superhero and have on going episodes in a Google document. In addition, they were required to post this document into their blog and also link from the blog directly to this document. Students certainly have creative minds and it has been fun watching them create their own characters and come up with story lines. Students are early in the process having only introduced their hero and added "Episode #1". It will be fun to see these stories develop.

To model the concepts I am teaching students, I have asked several teachers to participate as well. Currently, we have 3 teachers co-editing a Google document, adding their own Superhero story lines. We are very early in this process but my hope is this will be fun way for kids to watch teachers model the learning process. Stay tuned.

Below you will find links to the student's work and the the teacher's work as well.

Welcome

Welcome to my new blog. I created it because I thought I needed one central place to post information about school related news. I hope this blog proves to be a resource to Sprague High School's staff, students, administrators and the community as well.
