SHAUN WERSTED’S CAPSTONE PRESENTATION
INTRODUCTION • PROBLEM: Teachers and students need a resource for rampant absenteeism.
SOLUTION Create a dynamic website for students to use to keep up with lessons and for teachers to keep current grades.
FLASH TUTORIALS • Flash movie format used because it can be easily controlled. Text comes into view one line at a time and reader can take their time before going to the next page. • Link to free Flash download added for readers that don’t have it installed. • HTML print view and Word document added for flexibility.
DYNAMIC WORKSHEETS • 2 worksheets per lesson included for students to practice material from tutorial. • Used multiple choice format with checkboxes. • Checked answers give appropriate feedback to reader. • HTML print view and Word document added for flexibility.
HOMEWORK • Homework created with boxes for students to fill in answers. • Submit button at bottom of form sends answers directly to teacher via e-mail. • HTML print view and Word document added for flexibility.
QUIZ • Page available for readers to review the three lessons. • Quiz format same as homework. • HTML print view and Word document added for flexibility.
HELP FOR READERS • Readers may get help from Community Zero Discussion Board which I created. • Links to websites for specialized help on subjects covered. • Link to tutorial on graphing in Excel.
TEACHER’S PAGE • Explanation of how this site would be useful in most subjects and grade levels. • Links to tutorials on making Flash movies, forms and simple websites. • Links to Community Zero and other useful sites for teachers.
SPED CONSIDERATIONS • Simplified pages: No fancy graphics that may distract readers. • Multiple formats: Each page has print view options and Word document copies that can be saved by readers. • CAST E-Reader: Suggest and link to CAST E-Reader for students that are sight impaired.
THE FUTURE • I plan to personally support the site by updating it weekly. • I will train students to help me update site. • I will create a tutorial for teachers so they can create their own lessons using my site. • I will create a tutorial on graphing with Excel so students can submit graphs on-line.
