Still working on a way to anonymously submit something on the "Confidential Concerns" page of the school web site so students can submit information regarding a crime or harrassment. I would like to see something workable by NEXT class period. Work together if you have to. Let's get it done.

Thursday, January 28, 2010

We have been asked to add a "Confidential Concerns" link to the school web site so students can anonymously submit information regarding a crime or harrassment. This entails designing a graphic link on the main page like a banner ad. And we need to figure out the best way to do an online form that submits without using the student's email account. Everyone will work on this. Submit your ideas and designs in class on Monday, February 1, 2010.

Fri., Jan. 22 through Tue., Jan. 26, 2010

You need to inventory www.stansburyhigh.org to see what it is, content wise not frills-wise, the site is missing. Until now, I have been the only staff member. There is no web site without content. Compare our site with other high school web sites to get ideas as well. Anything you discover, email to me at rathke at teacher dot com. This assignment is due Tuesday, January 26, 2010.

Welcome to the first day of class. Today you will receive my disclosure, which is due back to me next time we meet or you will not have access to the computers and cameras. I will discuss what my expectations are and what the rules in my classroom will be this year. For one thing, I will discuss that you need to be both a computer geek and a journalist of sorts. While you may be able to design a web page, the content is not going to fall in your lap. You will need to attend school activities, take pictures, and write about those happenings so that you can include that information in the pages you design. Read the disclosure for other details. The last page of your disclosure is due back to me signed by you and a parent/guardian by Friday, January 22, 2010.
