Tuesday 1st - 4th; Monday 5th-8th period

We will map barackobama.com. Instead of us all mapping the entire site, you may choose a link from Barack Obama's home page that you want to map; Check with me first to see if someone else has already chosen that link. At the end of class, make sure to upload your Powerpoint.

Instead of using the box and line tools as we used last week, students have decided that we use an organizational chart to create the maps. The link below is an example of a very simple map that Sashambry Hollins created http://www.slideshare.net/Shanky9/shollins-presentation/

To create this, in Powerpoint click on the Insert menu and choose diagram. The diagram menu opens, but it is already defaulted to the organizational chart that we want, so just press OK. This creates a four box pyramid organizational chart (one on top and three on the bottom). Name the top box "Home". You will only need one box at the second level, so click on and delete the second and third boxes (if you accidentally delete the entire chart, don't panic - just click on undo in the edit menu). Name the remaining second-level box the name of the link that you chose from Obama's site. Right click on this box and choose Subordinate from the drop down menu. You may have to click on your second level box and add more subordinates to it if there is more than one link to map out. Add subordinates at any level as needed.

To check yourself to see if you got all of the links, view the source of the page that you chose. Search for "a href =". Every where that you find an "a href =", you can be assured that this is another link.

When you are done, upload your PowerPoint to slideshare.com (If you had already created one on slideshare.com and need to edit it, you can click on the download link next to your presentation in slideshare.

After uploading your final PowerPoint, ask me for note cards. Write one link from your map on each note card. Hopefully, we will be in our new room today. If so you can place them on our wall in the new classroom. We will match them together to build a map of his entire website.
