Thought I would start a new one since the other was getting long.
I'm sorry you had so much trouble with the links, I must not have explained it well. The home page looks great! one of the questions I asked was about the standards...I wasn't really sure if they're standards we're meeting as students making the website...or the standards the tools and other items we uploaded to the site meet. I still haven't gotten a response so I suppose we can wait on that for a little longer. Also, if you want to just post on here three more websites that I can add to the resources page. I added hort.vt.edu, instructorweb.com and csgn.org. Maybe you could find a couple more kid friendly sites to even out the resources page a little? Otherwise I think it looks good. I'm writing one more lesson plan to set up a wiki page for the students to write about their garden and keep a journal about it. Do you think it would work best on the "Preparing For a Garden" page?? That's where I was thinking of putting it.
also, is that the final concept map? or do we still need to make additions and post a new one?
ReplyDeleteI tried to re-download the inspiration in another name and maybe it recognized my computer.. it let me download but then said it was expired.. That isnt the final one that is the one we didnt get graded for. Which I dont understand why? ... the concept map I think we need another one.. I wanted to make a kid friendly fun one.. I think i might try to downlaod it on my lap top and seed if it worksd that way., Then i can make a final one..
ReplyDeleteI think were doing a pretty good job also..
I was going to add a few more resources and I have one more lesson plan. I was going to add a page about technology in the classroom and put links to all the resources we used ie. movie maker, audacity, task stream. this is where my other lesson plan will fit into..
Im going to be getting this last page those resources and that map done now so if there is any last minute tweaking we should be good..
thats a really good idea. i'm going to tweak my pages a little bit. should we meet back on here at 8 to double check that neither of us have anything to add?
ReplyDeletethe technology page was the really good idea i was talking about...haha yeah let me know about the concept map
ReplyDeletealso we need to figure out the content expectations. i still haven't gotten a response.
ReplyDeleteoooh! and for that technology page post the link for this blog as well if it's not already on your list
ReplyDeletei know i'm posting a hundred tiny things...butttt there's a notice in her directions that says there shouldn't be a resource page. so maybe on the first page there's a video you can say you can create a digital story like this one using "blah blah blah" or something like that? then i'll have to plug in the websites as well throughout the pages from my page
ReplyDeleteOh.. also yes it would be good under the preparing for a garden page.. :) ..
ReplyDeleteSo far I added some childrens resources and a list of gardening book for children that could be used either in the classroom or the home.
I added us both to the Resource if you dont mind. that will give us 2 joint pages and 3 personal pages.. I think we did a great job..
O.K. I built the technology page and put it under sub page of resources.. But i wanted it to show up under the resources on the side bar to and it doesnt.. Not sure how to fix that if maybe you could help me with that?
I am downloading inspiration on my lap top now and will post a map on here.. If you think its good we can use it for our final. I wont be on much longer today until about 9pm.. I have to work from 11pm to 7am and nap from 6-9 .. But i think it is good..Any final touches you want to make and I think were about ready for submission..
Oh shit.. I didnt see any of your recent posts until just now...
ReplyDeleteSo we should take of the movie make and audacity thats cool.. its just 2 removals..
O.K. I removed those 2 resources and if you wanted to add like the wiki and stuff and put your name up there also sounds good to me..
ReplyDeletewell maybe it's not really a resource page because everything we've done during the year is incorporated throughout the pages....? also..."Be sure to include the "big bang" page.... what this semester has been leading up to." is another one of the directions and we haven't really done that either...
ReplyDeleteWhat the heck is a big bang page?
ReplyDeletelol that's the whole description. making a page that tells what the semester has been leading up to?? I starting moving some websites around...
ReplyDeleteO.K. so im thinking i might never be done.. I guess I still need another original lesson plan or something?
ReplyDeleteor get sleep before work.. :(..
ReplyDeletei'll do as much work as i can. but the illinois.edu site you found I already have up on the caring for a garden page.
ReplyDeleteo.k. was that for kids? i can't remember shit.. also.. i made a concept map pod cast and want to move the two podcasts to a new page that I attached to prepparing for a garden.. Again I do not know how to make it on the side bar? What else do we need to do?
ReplyDeleteis that the final concept map?
ReplyDeletealso i added those pages to the sidebar
ReplyDeletewhere did you want them? sorry i'm like having a random conversation.
ReplyDeletethe technology one yes.. The concept map i linked to the bottom of preparing.. so maybe it should go up under that tab? What ever you think is best..
ReplyDeleteThe final concept map.. well i made that new one but that was really just to show how simple and complex.. Im not sure what to do to the other one though.. Any thoughts?
and were both having random thought postings...lol..i have like 10 in a row..
ReplyDeleteit says on the assignments list that the final inspiration was due december 5th...but didn't you e-mail her saying that we both already used our free trials? did she ever respond to you?
ReplyDeleteHey what about just connecting the GLCE to the mich.gov glce site? since we dont have an answer
ReplyDeleteyes. i did.. and i do not believe so let me check..
ReplyDeletethat's what i was thinking too.
ReplyDeletesince you have the technology page i'm going to integrate the rest of the websites into the other pages and take out the additional resources
ReplyDeleteI dont see anything. I sent her another email about this and about the grade for the other concept map submissions.. hopefully she will understand and it will not become an issue. we only have 2 people we should not be penalized for that. What do we have left to do on this?
ReplyDeleteAlso i think the technology page totally counts as the big bang page
ReplyDeleteI'm going to rework the resources page so it's not just resources. give me a few minutes if you wanna just look over the assignment again and see what we have
ReplyDeleteI WENT THROUGH AND PUT DONE NEXT TO EVERYTHING..EXCEPT THE GLCE'S I SAY WE JUST LINK IT TO THE MI.GOV SITE UNLESS WE GET A RESPONSE SOON? IM NOT SURE I USED THE SAME RESOURCES THAT I USED IN THAT ORIGINAL RESOURCE EVAL? IM GOING TO CHECK THAT NOW AND SEE WHICH ONES I HAVE ON HERE FOR THAT..
