Student Absences

PLahaise — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 23:21:27 +0000

I’ve added a calendar for students who give me notice that they are going to be out a week in advance. This way you can be sure if you’ve notified me or not by checking to make sure your name has been added. This should be more efficient than my previous little scraps of paper.

Website Changes

PLahaise — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 21:35:08 +0000

Really and truly I am finally done, and pretty happy, with the website changes. In addition to the overall look I’ve made some other changes I hope you like:

1. Student blogs are all listed under the “blogs” tab.

2. I’ve added a contact tab where you can easily send me a message.

3. The biggest change you will find is the “instruction” tab. There you will find the blogging instructions and websites, in addition to any other generic, non-class specific, instructions you might need.

4. I’ve changed the “docs” page (now called “important docs”) so that people with iOS devices should be able to access the content without issue. You should just click on the button for whatever it is you want to view and you will be taken to that page. Be sure and let me know if the new system doesn’t work.

5. This last item isn’t a new change but people are still having problems posting their scribe posts. You just need to type your message into the comment box, click “post as” in the lower right corner. When the box pops up it defaults to guest. Just type in your email. In the your name box type:

FIRST NAME FIRST INTIAL OF LAST NAME AND THE DATE OF THE SCRIBE.

So if I were posting for today I would type: Paige L 2/18/12.

PLEASE make sure you follow this format.

Sarah Kay’s Poem

PLahaise — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 04:58:05 +0000

Remember Sarah Kay’s wonderful TED talk? Yeah, she was amazing! Well, now one of her poems has been bound in a beautiful book with illustrations. It’s pretty inexpensive and would be a great Christmas gift! Even if you don’t buy the book, go to Amazon and check out her interview.

Print Friendly Button

PLahaise — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 19:58:38 +0000

See that cute little print button that’s now at the bottom of each post ↓. That’s a cool little print and/or e-mail feature. Try it. Go ahead and click it. I dare you. Okay…silly, but might come in handy. I’ve enabled it sitewide so that if you want the feature on your blog you can have it too.

Calendar View

PLahaise — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 22:09:45 +0000

I was alerted today to a “glitch” when trying to view homework on the calendar. Sometimes it may get cut off when you click the “more details”. The way around that is to click on the “agenda” view and then everything should show up properly.

Grades

PLahaise — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 02:44:57 +0000

I’ve recieved many questions regarding grade percentages. I’ve mentioned this over and over…

Because your grade is weighted by category, your overall grade is meaningless until all the categories are accounted for. I post grades online simply so you can see individual scores. Don’t focus on the overall grade just yet.

New Login Option and Grade Site Info

PLahaise — Sun, 02 Oct 2011 00:20:17 +0000

1. I’ve added a feature that will allow you to login to your site using the e-mail address that is associated with your account. So if you forget your username simply use your e-mail address and your password. Hopefully some of you will find it useful.

2. When you go to Jupitergrades for the first time you need to use your ID and password that I gave you in class (the ID is the one on your ID card from school). When it asks for the school use: soces. All lowercase, no periods. The city is reseda, tarzana or los angeles (I’m not sure which one). Hopefully this clears things up and I’ll stop being flooded with e-mails.

Blog Comments

PLahaise — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 00:12:13 +0000

I apologize to periods 1, 3 and 5 for not having their blog comments completed yet. I’m working on them! I hope to have them completed by Saturday or Sunday. Go ahead and do your next blog post but don’t post it. That way you can make any adjustments once my comment is made.

So far what I am seeing is good, but many of you just need to expand on your thoughts. Keep that in mind when writing your post and you will be okay.

Some good examples I’ve seen thus far:

Football In Los Angeles

Savor The Moment

Blogs

PLahaise — Sat, 24 Sep 2011 05:22:39 +0000

Okay I have all your blogs being fed into my RSS reader so feel free to change your blog titles as often as you like.

I’ve added a new “widget” at the bottom which highlights “super posts”. These are exceptional posts for one reason or another. I try to rotate these often. Hopefully everyone will have an opportunity to be a “super post”.

E-mail List

PLahaise — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 17:44:30 +0000

Everyone should have received at least two e-mails from me today. One from my e-mail address and one from Learnboost with login information. Learnboost is where you can check your grade in the class. If you didn’t receive one or both of these check your spam folder. If nothing is there then it probably means you didn’t fill out the student survey and I don’t have your e-mail information. You will have to contact me.

*Periods 1, 3 & 5 should have received three e-mails today. The two mentioned above and one regarding HW.
