Hi Everybody-- Wow! And I thought the post-a-video assignment was frustrating!
I misunderstood the assignment, and thought I could create a TeacherWeb site as an option. Last year I had been to a district-offered training session on creating a TeacherWeb. I created one that day and never used it (sorry to admit). So last weekend I spent a few hours updating the site with all the information I never entered.
Then I discovered I needed to create a Google Site, so I spent a few hours trying to put my information into the sample teacher's template, but could never figure out how to get rid of "Mrs. Smith" name and picture on the teacher's page.
Finally, I started over again yesterday with a blank template and think I have everything I need. I wanted to insert my picture in the "About the Teacher" page I created, but the page would not allow me to paste the phote (better for you not to see it). I also thought some pictures of students or math related themes would look good on some of my pages, but couldn't find a way to insert pictures.
So Here is the link to my site. Hope it is okay! Eileen

Hi Eileen,
ReplyDeleteI cant open this link. I tried and it asked me to get permission. Then I tried and it basically said no. I can say that even starting with the template it is not intuitive and very difficult to change the info. I found it very frustrating because had o keep going back and fourth and trying it again. As I kept using it the site it got easier. Like everything else you need to really work with it. If you learn something and then don't se it you really do lose it. It is a problem when we are really all so very busy.

Eileen, I tried to as well and it's requesting permission. I'm almost done with my website, but I'm using the Scholastic site instead. In my opinion, it's much better than the google site. Good luck and hope this helps.

Rosanna and Amber-- Thanks for commenting. I forgot to make the site public when I finished. Sorry about that. Thanks for commenting.
ReplyDeleteLooks good Eileen! I just took a quick peek for now but I'll be going back during our week off to take a closer look and get caught up on my grading for this class. Fun plans, huh? LOL Good job and enjoy the break.
ReplyDeleteEileen, I was running into the same sort of problems with Google. It was really frustrating, which is why I switched to the Scholastic site. In my opinion, much easier to use and much more applicable to the elementary level.
ReplyDeleteGreat! Glad it was a simple fix.

Hi Eileen,
ReplyDeleteI loved your website! There is so much interaction there...so many fun links - my daughter and I spent at least 30 minutes playing the "Poptropica" game... Maybe she will like Math from now on :-)
Great job!
Eileen, loved your site!Especially, purplemath.com and studyisland.com links! So cool for kids & adults! I recommended these sites to my adult students as well. My website was live but kept redirecting my webpage, but I finally fixed it! Hope you're enjoying your break!
ReplyDeletehi,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed using some of the math links you have on your website!
Great website :)
