While working on our teacher blogs this week I actually accomplished a lot. When I first started the blog I had the theme set as Jakarta. I found that this theme made things way to difficult to get everything I wanted done on the site. So even though it is a pretty basic layout I decided to change to the mandigo theme (which is the theme of our personal blogs). Mandigo helps provide different sidebars and places to put more content to that the page doesn’t look unbalanced or akward.
I also added more pages so that I can add more content that Senora Sheppard gives me as we go on throughout the project. I thought of a few approriate subjects on my own such as homework,schedule, and extras for widgets. I then added a page that relates directly to senoras classrom. This page was daily announcements. she likes to keep her students informed with important things happening locally or around the world. I thought it might help her to have an online place to post these things and maybe even find a widget i could put on the page that would show daily headlines.
I am planning on finding some spanish appropriate widgets that i can add to put some fun things into the website. Also I am going to add a lot of the written information that Mrs. Sheppard would like in the about me. I’ve decided to add too about sections to the page one about the teacher and one for the class.
My biggest long term goal for this project is to get everything translated into spanish so it can be appropraite for the class. Also I would like to get plenty of information to help students such as scanned information dittos and links to helpful websites. The last important thing i would like to do would be to sit down with the tutorials were making to show Mrs. Sheppard what she needs to do to maintain the site and how to do that.
I really have no questions at the moment and feel very comfortable with how it is progressing and I hope you are pleased with how its going also.
