I will send the grade sheet via your gmail account as soon as I have graded all your work (several CDs have not yet been turned in). Check over my math and etc and if you have any questions send me an email. After a day or so - after any questions have been resolved, I will post your grades on Kean wise.
This has been an outstanding class. You did great work - and I was very impressed with your persistance and resourcefulness dealing with Frontpage. I hope to have your web pages posted at my site by the end of may.
Thanks for the great semester and keep in touch.

Working with FrontPage on computers with blocks presents many challenges. You are doing a wonderful job. For those of you who fell they didn't get as far as they liked - hopefully you were able to save your site (the assignment for the day) so that you can continue to work on it in other labs on campus. The computers labs in Willis have FrontPage - if you find others on campus let me know and I will post it here so everyone can get some work done.
In class on Thrusday we were going to talk about the portfolio - but at this point, I think I am not going to require you to turn in a portfolio - rather we will do some reflective writing on the last day of class that you can then email me. So that means we will use Thursday to continue working on the hypertext essay. If you want feedback - you can turn in a draft (how ever far you got, in what every state of hyper-ness it happens to be) at the end of class. I will have you turn them in by saving them to a thumb drive that I will pass around class. Your draft should give a clear indication of the form + include your revised text. Unless you schedule a conference - this will be your last chance to receive feedback prior to the grade.
Next week, you will give presentations on your hypertext essays. The idea will be for you to get one more round of feedback from your classmates & me.
In your presentation you will need to state the following:
1. your research question (and how it connects to the ideas in the course)
2. what you found with respect to your research question (your answer)
3. how others have answered your question (connections to work by other researchers)
4. what new information/ideas/perspectives you brought to this question
5. what aspects of the question will need more research for a more complete answer
6. identity of the audience and purpose for your site
7. discussion of how you expect your site to be used
8. explanation of how the design of your site meets the needs of your audience/purpose
This presentation does not need to be perfect. The idea is to make sure your essay writes to the demands of those points - since those are the criteria for your grade.

Today you did some exploring with Frontpage. From what I saw, you are doing a great job. As I said - the hardest part is figuring out how to get around the blocks on the computer.
Monday will be another open lab to work on your hypertext essay. Take some time over the weekend to read through the comments I gave you on your writing; if you aren't sure what I was suggesting - make sure to either talk to me in class or seet up a conference.
The draft for your hypertext essay will be due on Thursday, April 23.
Have a great weekend.

In class we talked over the results from your assessment of your patterns for attending and you did some brainstorming for the reflective essay. Your task was to identify your focus and the texts you will connect to, and to do some thinking about how you would use each text in your discussion.
On Thursday you will have a free work period to develop your hypertext essay. Post a schematic for your design (or a description of) it to your blog.
