We're coming down the "home stretch"-class 9. One more to go.
I do want to focus on a few things today regarding online delivery of your files/work for you students. I know that depends upon your particular environment at home, in class, and the various restrictions therein.
The remaining class time will be a work session. Please give some thought to anything I can do to help you in the lab. I may also be able to perform some research or "grunt" work (formatting, ftping for you, or whatever incidental jobs you may need to accomplish.
Please bring a flash drive if you can remember to do that. That way we can easily transfer files and applications (open source) from one computer to another.
Since our last meeting, I have been working with a few of you on various aspects of your projects via phone or multiple emails. Although a bit tedious, it "filled the bill" sufficiently. We'll be talking about all of this today.
Along with that, I'd like to talk a little bit about Google Sites at http://www.google.com/sites/help/intl/en/overview.html which is user friendly, would save you a lot of time, and would free you from the dependence on some IT person (like me or at school) to make an initial upload for you and then make periodic updates.
Please take a look at the overview video and then look at a quick (very quick) classroom site called Mr. Groves' Room by going to http://sites.google.com/site/mrgrovesroom/
Google sites looks easy enough to use and adaptable to the classroom. Please rely upon me for any needed help should you choose to use the site.
