site design

1)
Purposes individual functionalities |
2)
Component within this design for this purpose |
3) Web
stuff I needed to learn how to do |
|
Encourage
teachers to think about setting up a laptop program in their school.
|
This is
the main purpose of the site. The homepage contains little information but
sets the scene for the remainder of the site. |
 | Setting
up a front page site with the layout shown. |
| The hit
counter on the RHS of the home page shows whether anyone is actually
visiting the site. |
|
|
Allow
teachers to discuss the issue of laptops in school |
The
discussion link takes you to a discussion forum and web pole and even a chat
room.
I’ve had 3
other people join the group so far!!
I've added a
web poll on the discussion page as well. |
| I
learnt about My Virtual Community to do this. |
| How to do java script
polls. |
|
|
See actual
case studies of schools that have set up laptop programs |
We learn
by example. If people interested in the topic and can look at real examples
they will be better informed. |
| A few
hours “googling” up a variety of case studies. |
| Basic
hyperlinking. |
|
|
Allow
teachers to easily see up to date research on Laptop learning. |
I tried to
include the research articles I will review in my action research.
|
| A few
hours “googling” up a variety of research. |
| Basic
hyperlinking. |
|
|
Excite
teachers about laptop programs and make them think of the wider implication
of ubiquitous ICT |
This was
done with the quotes that change each time the page loads.
I tried to
include a few actual pictures of laptop classes. |
| I have
to learn how to insert a JAVA applet into the HTML of a web page.
|
|
|
Provide an
opportunity for others to add research to the site. |
On the
discussion page there is an opportunity for users of the site to add their
own links to research. Unfortunately no users have take up this opportunity
yet. |
| Setting
up a online form that saves the users response to another page.
