# mcr-digital-experience

## What's the plan?

We'll take the approach of putting one facilitator with 3 pairs of students, the facilitator to take their pairs through a series of activities based around building a website and using GitHub pages to host it. We should be able to cover everything with each facilitator taking a half day sift at some point over Thursday and Friday, and the schedule for each day is provisionally as follows:

* Introduction; H&S announcements, pairing up and straight on to...
* Get doing something; 4ups & start designing a website using them, with basic layout from our template as a guide. Provide some suggestions in case they hit writer's block.
* Get started - create a github account and paste our sample site into it
* Add your content and start styling with Bootstrap
* UX Chat
* Lunch & Tour of Office
* Javascript
* Using jquery to respond to events and manipulate the document
* Sharing information across the internet, build a chat app using Firebase

For each of the sections (basic styling, more bootstrap, javascript & jquery and firebase) we'll produce a short facilitator's guide outlining what we want the students to learn and some pointers and cheatsheets.
