Right now I am going to do some TOP SECRET WORK FOR ***** ***'s

Day Ten: Post 2

Once again I redid the layout for Mrs Balmes.

3rd time's a charm. Right??

We decided that it was better to just create a layout instead of using a base one.



It turned out really good.
I like how things looked taked to it.

Day Ten: Post 1

I started Mrs Greene website
The site can be found here 
I did my best to recover what was on her old website, and was able to recover links from her classes.
I am going to talk with Mrs Balmes around 10:30/11:00

Day Nine: Post 1

Today I did a bit more filing for Mrs Greene.
I also have been working on rearranging the home page for Ms Balmes's site 
I added a photo album page for her site.

Day Eight: Post 2

Added some links to Ms Balmes's website.
I think adding the links helped make the site look less bare.

Day Eight: Post 1

Started off the day doing filing work, purging files for mrs Greene. I have gone through a few boxes and got rid of a lot of old files.
I think I am going to start a website for Mrs Greene so she can post worksheets online.

Day Seven: Post 2

Have been doing lots of teacher work lately. I spent 2 hours today helping Mrs Greene with cleaning and grading. Its like my project has morphed into "middle school teacher helper" =)

Tomorrow I will add a link on Ms Balmes home page to the new page she created,

Day Seven: Post 1

Today i explained how to update the website to Ms Balmes.
I added some things to the website.
I also did monkey work for Mrs Greene in the lab

Day Six: Post 1

Started off the day being recruited by Mr Novak for open house.

I have finished the basics for Ms Balmes's website and am glad that I reworked the layout. The new layout looks really good and I think that the students will agree.
Now I need to make a power point for Mrs Balmes.
But as of now I still have a lot if time to get it done.

Day Five: Post 3

Just a preview of what the new format is like.

Day Five: Post 2

BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD.....for the better

Major remodeling of Ms Balmes's site. Trashing the app idea and moving towards cork board.

Day Five: Post 1

I have the basic layout of Mrs Balmes's website done.

The home page has 3 icons that each link to different pages. Each linked page then has its own set of icons that link to sub pages. 

The pages have a description from the curriculum guide. 

The site can be found here

I am going to need to talk with Mrs Balmes when she is free, to find out what things I should place on the site.

I am going to start creating a powerpoint for google sites although it is not going to be top priority.

Day Four: Post 3

I showed the websites for Mrs Borges to the 6th grade today after lunch. They really liked how not only can you comment and vote, but also see what % of people agreed with you.

I finished presenting about 15 min ago, and already some students have voted and commented on the site. =)

Day Four: Post 2

I started Mrs Balmes's website. I am using ipad style apps for her site to make it modern.

The icons are linked to the page.

As of now, the pages are empty.

Day Four: Post 1

Started off the day with giving the presentation about the site to the 8th graders.
They seemed interested, I hope they will all use it.

This afternoon I am going to show the 6th graders the site and powerpoint.

I talked with Mrs Balmes today about what she wants on her site. I am going to use google.sites for the website.

Day Three: Post 2

Today was a bit of a strange day. I finished the work on Mrs Borges's site and Mrs Balmes was not ready to start hers yet.
So today I did monkey work for teachers.
I did some computer work for Mrs Hecht, and Mrs Shutters

Day Three: Post 1

Today I finished Mrs Borges site. Tomorrow I am going to explain the process of logging in and using it to her class.

Power Point Collaborize Classroom student guide

here is the student guide

Power Point Collaborize Classroom

The power-point for the teacher guide can be found here or below

Day Two: Post 2

Right now I am experimenting with the site and figuring things out, so I can create the power-points.         

I posted a question

Day Two: Post 1

Today I am working on creating power-points on how to use Collaborize Classroom
I am making 2 guides. A student guide and a teacher guide.
Hopefully I will post them here when I finish.

Day One: Post 2

Mrs Borges'  site is up and running. (But very empty) .

It helped to have done the registration for the site before JST, because otherwise I would of have had to wait for registration to be complete before I could start.



Also I have done some rearranging of my schedule due to some new information. Instead to working on both sites at once, I am going to finish one and then start on the second one.

This is a test

Just seeing what i can do with Collaborize Classroom

Day One: Post 1

I have just started creating accounts for the students in 8th grade, and have come across a small problem.
At first I was going to use the Roycemore Log in names as their usernames but 1/5 of them have log in names under 6 letters.
I am fixing this problem by making their login names use this format. First name+ first letter of last name+ Griffin 
example.
