THIS IS OUR HOMEPAGE FOR OUR GOOGLE SITE ENTITLE SAVING MOTHER EARTH..We included picasa web slideshow to make the homepage more welcoming for children and some comic strips are integrated in the slides to give the ideas for the kids when the first landed at the page.

week 12....bed time STORYBOARD....

We've decided to use GOOGLE SITES to design our new site, which we decide to title as 'SAVING MOTHER EARTH'.
we decided to come out with a simple storyboard below based from our discussion..



It's a simple storyboard as it is our first attempt of designing a real website to be used in teaching and learning of science.

week 11...addie model...



this week..we learnt about addie model...This model consists of five phases. Those phases are:

1- Analysis phase
2- Design phase
3- Development phase
4- Implementation
5- Evaluation

Analysis
* During analysis, the designer identifies the learning problem, the goals and objectives, the audience’s needs, existing knowledge, and any other relevant characteristics. Analysis also considers the learning environment, any constraints, the delivery options, and the time line for the project.

Design Phase
This is the phase where storyboard is designed for the entire website.

DEVELOPMENT PHASE
The actual product and the designed tool.

Implementation Phase
This phase is the phase where the tool is tested. Thus, in this phase the effectiveness of the tool will be evaluated and the weaknesses and strengths are discovered.

Evaluation

This is the phase where feedback is gained for further improvements and modification.


week 9..Assignment 3(15%)


We choose wikis and as we are familiar in using GOOGLE SITES, we've decided to make use of it in our teaching. GOOGLE SITES is really good and flexible to be designed.

week8..rubric?

this week's class, we have been introduced to Software Evaluation Rubric, Researched and Developed by Kristin Miller and Jacqueline Bach, SAS inSchool Interns, Summer, 2001.

Some aspects that should be considered while designing an educational website are:
1) usability criteria : purpose, homepage, navigation, design, enjoyment, readability
2) content criteria : authority, accuracy, relevance, sufficiency, appropriateness
3) educational value criteria : learning activities, activity plan, resources, communication, feedback, rubric and help tools.
4) vividness criteria : links and updating

rubric is important because as teacher we need to make sure that the source we took from internet fulfills certain criteria or aspects such as the reliability, accuracy and the value itself. In addition, we need to bear in mind that the information exists in net can be facts, opinions, stories, interpretations, statistics and it can also be fake too.
