1st Hour: First Blogging Task

Thanks for stopping by, first hour!

Your first mission: To familiar yourself with Ms. Leclaire's new webpage

1. Browse Ms. Leclaire's webpage by clicking HERE or by visiting the "Teacher Pages" link on the AHS website.  Then, click around on the different pages (some are still under construction) and peruse the items that may be of use or interest to you.

2. In the comment section underneath this post, please do both of the following:

  • Post ONE item from the webpage that you find useful or interesting.
  • Offer ONE suggestion for improvement.  What would you like to see on this website? What would help you in terms of layout and content?

3. Be sure to read the other comments first because you may not repeat anything that has already been posted. (Hint: As you may have already figured out, it's easier to be one of the first people to post than one of the last.)

4. This is due before the start of class tomorrow (Tuesday).

  1. I like how easy the webpage is the navigate. However last year, Smith would have a slideshow with what the whole week would look like and it was easy to find the assignments we had to do and was very helpful.

  2. I like how words and sentences are bolded. It stands out and emphasizes what is important and what is not. I really like this webpage. It is very organized.

  3. 1. The calender is very useful, its nice to have that with all of the upcoming events ready to be viewed.
    2. If there is way, try to make the class blog tab on the home page a direct link to the actual blog, so you get rid of the page that is in between.

  4. 1. I like how the layout of the website makes it easier to find assignments. However, one thing that would make the website easier to navigate through would be if there was a calendar for each class. This would make checking assignments that were not recent easier. I would like to see the calendar on the main page like Mrs. Mcvey's website in the future. Thank you.

  5. I like how you have tabs for each of your classes. It's a really good way to organize your webpage and it makes it a lot easier for me to access something on your webpage. Something that could be improved is the style. I think you should make the webpage a little more exciting with some more funky themes

  6. I really think that the agenda on the calendar is very helpful. One suggestion I have that would make the website better would be if the website were more "stylish" to put in a pleasant look when someone went visits the webpage.

  8. I like how you have the Essay Writing resource, someday this year that will be a very helpful tool to access. One suggestion that I have is to maybe make a slideshow like Preston was saying. I feel like that would help with having everything in check and making sure you didn't miss anything.

  9. Your website is very helpful because you put all your information in your main page and its easy to read and I like how you put your off hours and your email in the same page. Also I find your pictures interesting because not a lot of teachers put their big fans in their webpage. I suggest putting your links for A.P. Lit and English 10 on a tab so that it will be easier for us and you will have more space to put other informations in there.

  11. Your website is very organized and I like that you posted your off hours and stuff about yourself. Something that you could do to improve is post the stuff that would help us for that day.

  12. Your website is overall very easy to use, which makes it a positive. I really enjoy having the different tabs for English 10 and AP Lit, because it is very organized. One thing you could change is changing Of Mice and Men, to A Long Way Gone

  15. Your website makes it very easy to navigate with all of the links you put in and they all seem to circle back to each other. I think more color to make it visually appealing but I think most tools and resources are right in front of any student at any given time on your website.

  16. Your website is very organized, I like that you have a helpful websites tab. I think if you could put what we did in class on the calendar it would help so if someone is gone they can see what we did in class on the day they were missing.

  18. Your website is fairly easy to find the correct information that you are looking for. However, I feel like you could improve by creating hypertext (links to sub-pages or another website even) to organize it even further. That way, you can have a directory for each class period.

  19. I like that each day we can easily find what homework we have. I also like how when you have the tasks, you have the little explanations that go along with it below it. I think what would help is when we go to the calendar and it has says what we did in class and what we have for homework, and if we need a better explanation, you could put a link to the class blog

  20. I like how everything was so simple and organized. The tabs on the left makes it very easy to get where you are trying to go. Everything is linked from that site which makes it very convenient. One suggestion would be to add more color and pictures on more slides to make it more appealing.

  22. 1.What I like about your website is that if you are curious about college you can get information on it.
    2.What I think that would be helpful is that if you could put a reading list for people that are into reading.

  23. The website is very easy to navigate and find. I would suggest linking to a website like lexipedia or a similar website.

  25. One item that I found useful is that you post all of the homework on the blog which makes it much easier to find and complete the homework. 1 suggestion is that I think it would be easier to get to the website by linking it to you page.

  26. What I found about your website was that it was easy to click through and find what you are looking for quickly. I also liked was how all the homework was listed on the page. One thing I think would be useful is last year Smith had our daily agenda listed out on a powerpoint, it makes things easier but it's just a suggestion!

  27. I think that giving a detailed description of what you expect in an essay is a great idea and will help us greatly (if we are smart enough to re-visit the website). One thing I would improve would be to decorate the site a little more. The white background makes the website look smaller. Another thing would be to put some of the content on the left side on top to be easier to search for.

  28. I think that the calendar is very useful for me because I miss a lot of days of school early on in the year so I need to be updated in what I miss

  29. An improvement to the website would be to post your nots or anything that away from the classroom i missed I can get online.

  30. I feel like the website was very organized and not all grouped together like other websites teachers use. I feel it would help though if on the calendar you could click on a link that brought us to the slides that we used that day. Overall I think the website is very organized and easy to navigate.

  31. I think that the website is very organized and helpful, and was super easy to find everything you need. 1 suggestion would be to add some color and pictures for visual appeal but overall very good class web page.

  33. One thing I like about your website is that pretty much everything we could need very often is in one place, on the class blog. If I could add or change one thing is to make the class blog a little more organized, and seperate the blogs of classes one and three.

  34. I like how easy it is to navigate the website while keeping it very simple to use and find all of the tools and resources for us to use. One thing I think would help is a presentation in order of what we did that day like Mrs.Comp does with her classes.

  36. Navigating is simple and easy. I liked knowing that this year we were going to be learning about dark heroes. And I liked how you told us the books we would be reading. Plus, I also really liked your helpful websites tab, as now
    I can use it as a resource. One thing I would add is more color.

  37. What I like is that the site is simple and easy to use, it's not overly complicated and makes for easy access. Something I think should be added is a slightly darker background and a bit more color
