17 lessons......

You guys only have about 17 periods of classtime left...

because of junior exams, activities and prizegiving!

No time to waste.....

Task 3 / stakeholders

Hi Guys,

Here are some general issues with your work:

Task 3 part 1

- when analysing other similar websites you need to have at least 5 sites, and talk about WHY its successfull of not e.g. layout, design, speed......

Task 3 part 2

- Lots of people are not listing all the stuff they are going to use in their actual sites - just cut and paste of put links. This should be everything you need to make your actual site

Stakeholders

Think about using the blog features to include electronic feedback from stakeholders - it could be a comment on a post or an inbuilt survey (http://www.surveymonkey.com/)

I'm watching.....

Just reminding you that just because I'm not there dosent mean you can slack off, I'm still looking at your blogs! Keep working hard

Miss Daniel :-)

Comments

I'm putting a lot of time into checking everyones blogs, and commenting on things that you need to improve, so make sure you actually make the effort to read my comments and add to / change anything that is necessary.

Remember that you are free to delete / not publish my comments if your dont want others to see them.

Also you can comment on each others work if you think that you can help!

It is better to produce high quality work than speed through and finish early, but produce crappy work :-)

Problems with work....

Hi Guys,

heres the main things that are not being done well at the moment:

END OF LESSON POSTS

These should evaluate the work you have done that lesson, not just say what you did.

TASK 1

• 'Discuss' means excellence - you need to write quite alot, not just one sentance.... put more detail into your answers
• Cut and paste - if you are cutting and pasting lots you need to check that when you publish it it all looks ok, and you can read it all - some peoples text is all different colours / sizes / fonts.

TASK 2

• Brainstorm - you need to list actual ideas for your new website you make using SharePoint Designer e.g. a list
• Key factors / specifications - you need to put more detail into the discussion of WHY these are important, and the IMPLICATION e.g. what will happen if you dont consider it.

Stats

Have you found the 'Stats' part of your blog? You can see how many people have visited your blog, and where in the world they were.

When I look at the stats for this blog, you can see what time of the day I had each year 10 class, as there is a big spike in the number of people viewing this blog... Pretty cool!

Dates on your posts.....

Take a look at the dates on your last post - does it look right to you?

When I looked at mine I found that they were a day behind.

To fix this you need to go into settings, and change the time to Auckland time, and this will fix your blog.

TASK 1 - Finished this Friday

Remember.... according to the timeline on the right, you are meant to have task 1 FINISHED this Friday!

And remember you need to make a post on your home page EVERY lesson with what you got done.... so DONT edit the last one, make a new post every day.

Trouble with Task 1?

Remember that task 1 needs to be on a new page, and make sure you make it look good - this is how you are presenting the work for this project!

Try to use bold, underlines or different coloured fonts to make it clear what words you are defining or questions you are answering, and what the definitions / answers are.

CHECKLIST

... Have you:

• Given Miss Daniel your g-account / Blogger name?
• Have you given Miss Daniel your correct web address for your blog?
• Have you made a post saying what you got finished last lesson?
• Are you following THIS blog?
• Is there a link to your blog on the bottom of this page?
• Have you turned on the comment moderation setting?
• Is your blog APPROPRIATE?

Using the home page of your blog

Every lesson, you need to create a blog post as a record of what you have done that lesson, including any tasks you have completed, and an evaluation of the work you did.
