A Message from a MOE Web Team Mentor
As the Lead MOE Web Team Mentor, I am extremely proud of what our dedicated students have accomplished!
The MOE website is designed to inform and entertain the visitor, instruct other teams, and give the MOE Team the important infomation it needs throughout the year.
This year's big change has been a totally new look and feel for the website! Our students developed new cascading style sheets and other components that transform the site. They continue the integration of our website, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram.
Importantly, no site management program such as Dreamweaver® has been used for our website. It is primarily hand coded using text editors such as the Crimson Editor and Notepad.
New code has been written in HTML5 using our own cascading style sheets, an upgrade from our Transitional XHTML. Available public script has been adapted for some areas (consistent with all proper licenses or permissions), such as menus (Milonic and jQuery), photo displays (Galleria), and image magnifier (Image Power Zoomer). The Web Team itself operates in the cloud using Google Drive for our own communications and interactions, and as the platform for our calendar and on-line forms such as the Student Application and "Duel on the Delaware" registration.
STUDENT PRIVACY PROTECTION is extremely important for our team. For the protection of our students we do not include students' last names with their photos on this site. The only students who have their names posted here are those to whom public inquiries should be sent. This precludes our inclusion of such human interest items as student profiles, but we feel that the precautions are quite worthwhile.
If you haven't yet visited our Web Team page, please take the opportunity to meet this year's talented crew!
It has been a pleasure to work with bright, enthusiastic MOE Web Team students for thirteen years. In addition to learning much from them, they have helped keep me feeling young!
Sincerely,
John Wilkens
MOE Web Team Mentor
