* '''Atul:''' There seems to be a bit of a blurry line between linking and style/formatting, as both involve learning about tags, and even linking to something necessarily adds styling to it (my brain is actually frequently in "styling mode" when I hyperlink things, as I don't want the hyperlinking style to negatively affect the aesthetics of my page). Also, not sure where the <code><img></code> tag fits in here, but it's invaluable in webmaking and has the curious distinction of being an "embedded link" of sorts, which helps teach the important notion that "a web page is made up of parts that come from other places on the web". | * '''Atul:''' There seems to be a bit of a blurry line between linking and style/formatting, as both involve learning about tags, and even linking to something necessarily adds styling to it (my brain is actually frequently in "styling mode" when I hyperlink things, as I don't want the hyperlinking style to negatively affect the aesthetics of my page).

* '''Jess:''' I think that there is in fact a blurry line between style/ formatting- which continues to evolve. This is one of the underlying philosophies of Hackasaurus, in fact we are not teaching a 101 guide to the formal way of designing a webpage, but are baking hacker skills into our pedagogy- intentionally allowing the lines to blur so that within the learners [mitpress.mit.edu/books/full_pdfs/hanging_out.pdf "hanging out or messing around"] phases of discovery of html or css they are casually lifting up the hood and seeing how things work. That said, once a learner starts to "geek out", and really transition from "hacking" to "webmaking," I agree that we do in fact need to start to layer upon and refine the skills required for composition- because really what we are progressing to here is design and systems thinking. | |||
