My background:

25 years ago I knew a little Fortran and Pascal.
15 years ago I needed to do a fill in form.
11 years ago I needed to develop an online math course.
10 years ago I had 4 credits of release time to develop a course and invested some of the time in experimenting with Java and JavaScript.

How can we use JavaScript?

    Swapping images for step by step examples  Mouse over a child's name to see another beautiful face.

    Step by step examples

    Calculators of various sorts

    Student tools

   Quiz example 1 . . . Quiz example 2 . . . Quiz example 3

Careful:  When you use JavaScript your source code and thus your answers are available to even the moderately experienced user!

How did I get these ideas?

   View source whenever you like a web page.  Sometimes you can figure out how the author did it. 

 I also used a reference whenever I needed to know how to do loops, if-then statements, or arrays in JavaScript.

My references from 2000 have all expired, but you can probably use a search engine to find other JavaScript references.

What will we do today?
