Displaying Student Work |
|
During the 1999-2000 school year, I used this website extensively to display
student work. Many students were highly motivated to publish their work on
the website.
The website also became a means of communication with parents at home or at work. Each student had the opportunity to place work on his/her own individual web page. The students were required to proofread their work, and make corrections, because only perfect work goes on the web site. Publishing the writings, drawings, and projects was fun and exciting, but we also used our web site as a sort of online newspaper. Our school had a digital camera, and I found that it was a marvelous tool. Whenever we did something "newsworthy", I simply snapped a picture and put it on our website.
In September 2000, I did an extensive amount of reformatting on this website. I did not
feel comfortable displaying student images when I was no longer teaching those students.
However, I did not want to loose the opportunity to share this website with other teachers.
So I arrived at a compromise: |
1. Setting up student web pagesI learned HTML during the summer of 1999. Once I had the basic framework set up for the site, I made a number of decorated blank pages. (sort of like stationery!) These were set up quickly and easily by making a basic template, and inserting various images to be used as backgrounds and borders. You have my permission to copy the source code for ANY of these pages. Please be sure to include a link to the graphic artist who designed each page. (These links are already on each page: just don't remove them! Most of these artist welcome you to use their work, as long as credit is given!)
