Tafessework, I liked how you included so many of the different Web 2.0 tools that we learned about. It is obvious that you have put a lot of effort into your project. I included my "tips" for creating pages like my assessment pages a little further down on this page. I hope they help. :)

Hi Tafessework. Nice job and way to stick it out with UDUTU. It looks like you have included a lot of Web 2.0 tools so that is great. One thing, I think you tried to put a Voki on page 6, but it wasn't loading on my computer. You may want to double check that. Also, on page 8 you say "They can use to create one or more than one attributes of classification"; and it's kind of confusing. I'm not really sure that is a sentence and I dont completely understand what you mean here. Maybe you can say 'They can use this program to create one or more attributes of the picture diagram given". I like that you included a Go Anime, but it was saved as Private so I wasnt able to view it, and I'm assuming that means Professor Hansen cant either. If you go back to the conferences section I think I made a post on how to make it public if you are having trouble figuring it out. Also, on page 13, there is no image. I know like it might sound like a lot, but they are really small, little things that I wouldnt want you to lose points over. Other than those few things I think you did a really great job! Jillian Thanks Jillian, Not at all this is great. This is the whole point of looking over each others work . I always feel lucky to have peers to look over my work. I'll take care of those things you pointed out. Thanks for talking your time to do so. I have fixed it and re-posted again.Tafessework

Hello, here is my course...so far. I am a stubborn mule, so I couldn't give up on myudutu, even though it has made me crazy. LOL. Hopefully, it wasn't all wasted time. I feel like I learned a lot...it just took a lot more work than Web 2.0 tools usually do. I would not describe it as "user-friendly." Anyhow, please take a look at what I have done so far...it still needs work, but I would appreciate ANY and ALL comments/suggestions!

Thanks, Karen

Karen, This looks wonderful! I love how you included the examples and really made this a student friendly course. One small thing: Slides 15,16, 17, 18 your last sentences are cut off a little bit. Maybe you could make your images a little smaller? That is really all I noticed, you really did a great job and it looks good. Your stubborn-ness and hard work will pay off! Jillian

Karen how did you create page 5.6.7 of your UDUTU I can not do that. Can you please guide me. I will also e-mail you just in case you do not get to see this. Thanks Tafessework, I will do my best. I agree that myudutu was a tough tool to use. I relied a lot on Internet searches of helpful forums and tutorials (and luck) to figure stuff out. I will tell you what I did for those pages, and hopefully that will help. First, I chose to make those pages "assessment screens." Then you can choose from the many different assessment screens. For some I chose the 10th one in...for example. Then I clicked self-assessment if I wanted to give the students a chance for a second try....or scored (one attempt only) if I wanted them to only get the one try. Then I just followed the directions on the set up page to check the answer box with the correct answer, type in instructions and questions, type in response for correct and incorrect responses, and I saved it all. I hope this was helpful. Good luck! :)

Karen Thanks a lot Karen I will try it right now. I got it but it is hard to design assessment for my topic, I came up with one. I uploaded the picture for the assessment page and can see it when I am working on the page. But when I preview I can not see the graphic. Do you know why this might be? Thanks again, Tafessework Karen I like it a lot. It looks better than mine. The only one recommendation is on your last page the last sentience looks a bit cut off. Tafessework

Thanks Tafessework, I will take a look at the last page. :) Karen

Hi Guys. I am still off to a slow start because I gave up on UDUTU and switched to Yola. I have some work to do this weekend for another class, but after Sunday all of my focus will be on this final project. Here is the link for my site as it is now, and any comments are welcome throughout the process: [] Thanks!! Jillian

Hi Jillian I like the calm feeling of your website for a very sensitive subject. I am sure the end product is going to look good. The quiz page looks good very nice and interactive. Tafessework

Jillian, it looks like you've gotten off to a good start. The set up looks very attractive and user-friendly. I particularly like the "future me" portion. What a great feature. I can't wait to see more! Karen

Jillian, I really like the FutureMe idea, especially for students after learning about substance abuse. I'm going to keep that site on my teacher-page :) I've also got some work to do (I'm planning on making some tutorial videos to demonstrate how to do some things and adding them to the How-To page). But for now, here's my site as-is, and I also switched to Yola to get it done :) []

Thanks ladies. I have basically finished my website and other than adding an Evaluation page I think I am ready for submission. Any last thoughts/comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!! Jillian

Angela, I like your site a lot and I also was agree with Karen the Task page is too wordy for a 4th grader may be you can add voice and down size it a bit. Also in the glossary section some of the words are in red I was not sure if you wanted it like that. Tafessework

Angela, I love your site. It is very attractive and user-friendly. I particularly liked the timeline, rubric, and the part for teachers...that would be very helpful. I found the "Tasks" page to be a little overwhelming. I'm not sure how to alleviate that feeling, but I thought I'd mention it...maybe spacing or less words or...ugh, I'm not sure. It was just a lot of reading...but it is a very involved project...so they need to know what they are doing. It is obvious you have put a lot of work into your project! Karen

Hi Karen, I'll see if I can make the 'tasks' page less overwhelming, thanks for pointing that out. The way it's set up, though, would be the same as the previous three sites would have been for them -- they would have already done similar projects by the time they do this unit, so they would know what to expect. Thanks! ¬Angela¬

Angela, are you having trouble accessing the Yola site? I have been able to log on and make edits, but after I publish my changes nothing comes up. And I just tried the link to your web page and it didnt work either. I am just wondering if it is my computer or the website that might be having problems. Thoughts? Jillian

Hi Jillian, I just made some edits on my Yola site (it's Friday & I'm in England at the moment); it seems to be working well. I found that it sometimes takes a few minutes for changes to come up. If you're looking at the finished site, you may need to keep clicking the 'refresh' button in order for it to show your changes? ¬Angela¬

Thanks Angela, I guess it was just being difficult haha. I looked at your page again and think its really great! My favorite page is the part For Teachers. You do have a lot of information on here and a lot of links, but it flows nicely and is well thought out. I might suggest adding spaces between your numbered tasks on the Tasks page. It might help to break it up a little bit. Also, I'm not sure if you noticed, but you have some (2) extra boxes on your Timeline page. Not a big deal, just two small things. Other than that you really did a nice job. Jillian
