Consider what we want to surface with "Classroom Visual"

[flannery-denny]

• [ ] perhaps some lessons have more interesting Classroom Visuals to share?
• Computing Needs All Voices has the Pioneer Poster Set
• Joy used to have a poster of the Data Cycle
• Mariana has a poster of the Design Recipe
• Threats to Validity links to a poster set of Data Fallacies
• Are there others?

[schanzer]

@flannery-denny since we're planning to get rid of "classroom visual" entirely in #1584, is this still something you want to keep open?

[flannery-denny]

@schanzer I'm going to try to figure out how to better surface the posters we are offering teachers before I close this.

[flannery-denny]

@schanzer is there a way to link directly to the pioneer poster set or is this link the best we can do? @lesson-link{computing-needs-all-voices/pages/computing-pioneers.adoc}

[schanzer]

@flannery-denny the PDF is just another file in the pages directory, so @lesson-link or @handout should work fine. Since it's optional and not really a printable exercise, I think @handout{pages/computing-pioneers.pdf} is the way to go. But if you don't want it included in the "download optional PDFs" link, then yeah I think you can safely fall back on @lesson-link

[flannery-denny]

@schanzer please do a fresh build of fall2024 and see what happens when the link you propose gets deployed in the materials section of Computing Needs All Voices beside the words "Downloadable Poster Set". If it's possible to make it work, please fix it! I would also use this direct link in a few other places. If not, please remove it. Thanks!

[schanzer]

@flannery-denny What did you want the link to look like?

[flannery-denny]

@schanzer I want it to open a PDF of all the posters.

[schanzer]

@flannery-denny I'm not seeing that PDF anywhere. Are you sure we even have a poster set file?

[flannery-denny]

@schanzer We don't. That's why I wrote to ask you if there was a better link than linking to the computing pioneers page, which has a button that compiles a pdf. I don't understand how the button works or why it would possibly be preferable than having a stable pdf of the current set of pioneers posters.

Here's the code that makes it happen.

<span id="OnscreenInstructions">
Click on any thumbnail below to read about the contributions of the pioneer and download a full-page, printable version of the poster. You can download all of the pages as a single PDF by <a href="javascript:printPioneers()">clicking here</a>. We will be expanding this collection over time and are open to <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSesCHpWZFuD4HE-im9qwjQZpw6pG2ESS5s-DfxfhACV-wQo0Q/viewform?usp=sf_link"> suggestions</a>!
</span>

@flannery-denny sorry about that - when you asked for a way to link I didn't realize you were asking to link to a dynamically-created page. That took a much longer time to implement, but I've just pushed a commit that does exactly what you want

[flannery-denny]

Thanks @schanzer. I haven't yet figured out how to get the link to read inline. Just pushed a commit. Any ideas how to improve on it?

[schanzer]

@flannery-denny looks great to me! Anything else you want done before the issue is closed?

[flannery-denny]

In both places where we're linking to the poster set, I'd like the link to be on the same line rather than a new line. Ideas on how to make that happen?

[flannery-denny]

@schanzer Please see the comment above. Also wondering where Mariana and Joy got the giant posters they use in their classrooms. Is there a link we could be sharing? Should I tag Joy in a comment in this issue?

[schanzer]

@flannery-denny no ideas. I think tagging Joy and writing to both her and Mariana would be a great idea.

[flannery-denny]

@ds26gte Any idea how to get these links to appear on the same line rather than a separate line? fall2024/computing-needs-all-voices/index lines 39-59

@ds26gte @schanzer I've also tried this version of the code

<div id="msg">
    <p id="text"></p>

Which I think would be preferable, but generates something even uglier if we can't get the java script to happen inline

lmk if this is impossible and I'll rewrite the lesson plan as if that's the case

[ds26gte]

* on a line by itself becomes verbatim star, not an item marker. Also, not sure what the intent with the verbatim HTML is, but I see <div> and <p> -- both are block-izers, so will generate newlines.
