Final Project

I really liked working on this communative project. My advisor and I worked well together and I was able to turn out a well designed website. It was difficult however to meet with my advisor during class time since I was unsure when we were going to learn something new or expand on something we had learned the day before. However, I was able to get a lot of my project completed during class time and the tutorials on work days were very helpful.

I am very proud of my front page and books page.

On the front page I was able to add headings, links and images. I tried to add a table to put my images in but I was unsuccessful. The front page is very informative and easy to read.

On the Books page, I was able to hyperlink all of the titles of the books to summaries on the Barnes and Noble website. This way, students can read about the books while looking at the book list. I also added an image of books which really brings the page together.

I enjoyed working on this project and I hope that the book club will like it.

Almost Done

This week, I added a text reader and more images to my blog. I also signed all of the book club members up and I am just waiting for them to sign in to add them as contributers. I also got more information from my advisor and will be putting that on this week.

Next, I plan on editing some of my pages and setting up contributers. I also need to put one more picture on the page and I will be taking a digital picture of the media center this coming week for the about page.

My long term goals are to set up how to use the blog for my advisor and also make video tutorials for the site. Most of my blog is complete, there are just a couple of small things that need tweaking.

I really like this project because I am making a site for future years and for the book club to use over the summer.

Added New Users

This week, I was able to give all of the book club members edublogs usernames. They need to log in so that I can add them as users.

This coming week, I am going to add them as users and also put a text reader and audio reader.

I am also going to add a discussion page that is going to be a forumn.

Second Week

This week, I met with my advisor and made some changes to the site. We added more text to the front page and decided on more things that I can do this coming week. I am going to add a Voki to the front page and a discussion page. I also emailed all of the members of the book club and told them what I was going to make their usernames.

Make sure to look at the front page of the blog. It is more colorful and easier to read.

Next, I plan on working on adding a Voki and adding a discussion page. The discussion page is going to be where questions can be asked and students can respond. I am also going to make usernames for all of the members of the book club so we can start blogging.

My to-do list:

Resize the picture
Figure out a way to make the discussion page a forumn

This project is really coming along.

First week

This week I worked on adding more things to my blog. I added a google calendar and pictures of the cover of the book to the front page. I also worked on making the blog more usable and easier to navigate.

Make sure you look at the google calendar. I edited it to make sure that it fit within the parameters of the page and I also added dates to the blog.

Next, I plan to email the members of the book club and set them up with usernames. I am going to add them as contruibuters.

My current to-do list for the blog is:

add the members as contributors
place the blog on the media center and foran website
center the picture and make the site more usable

I like this project. I feel like I am really accomplishing something with this project.
