Group+2+here!

Group 2, Spanish Americans, do your work here.

Okay guys, just wanted to get a head start this even though we have a week to do it. We need to decide who is going to do what part of the assignment, after watching the assignment video i think we need basically 4 pages and a host page. I would say **Background Information, How they learn, some teaching tip/suggestions, and supportive links/resources** would be the four pages that we would need. I would be willing to put together the host page and then whatever page is left. I'm not sure if you guys would want but we could also put together a page about parents and how to deal effectively with them. Let me know what you guys think - Kari

I think this is a great idea! thanks for going ahead and being the host page. I will take two groups so all you have to do is put it together and organize it all. Are we just supposed to copy and paste our information here on this page and then you will get? Or are we supposed to put a link on our own website with our information? What do you think?? I will do TEACHING TIPS and SUPPORTIVE LINKS/RESOURCES. let me know what you think!!? Thanks!! :)

I think we are just supposed to put our links on this page and place all our information on our websites, i do have some good resource links if you guys need them to start looking up ideas, and i will get the host page put together by tomorrow afternoon so that you guys can all link to it. Just let know your links so that I can link the Host page with them.

I will do How They Learn. I am a little bit confused as to how we will link everything, I watched the project video, but I am still a little lost on the technology side of it. My website on my mac is also not letting me make webpages live, I can email mine to someone if I cant get it figured out too. Let me know what else I need to do! ~ Cassie

As far as linking everything together i believe from what the video said and what i know of websites - you each just need to place on your page a link back to the host page (I will have this done by noon on Wednesday - and place on here). Then on the host page - I need to place all of the links to your pages, as well as all our names. I have to work tonight, but will be check back when i get home, and start working on the Host Page then, i will also ask a friend (thats great with computers) how to do the Mac side of things, but not sure if i'm gonna be able to help or not. - Kari

Here is the Host Page Link: http://www.students.dsu.edu/nortonkar/SPED460/Culture.htm

I am working on it today and should be able to get it done pretty quick. Also haven't found anything out on the Mac side of things Cassie, if I do I will let you know! -Kari

Let me know if you need me to do anything else to help! :) thanks so much for putting this together! katie

Katie--These look great, but make sure to put a link on both pages that take a person back to the Host Page, I'm sure this is what he means when he said he wanted them all linked together! - Kari

The Host page has been updated with the links to Katie's two pages added, has anyone heard from Josh - Just want to make sure that page gets done. - Kari

Hey everyone. Sorry I have had a busy crazy week. Kari-- I will do the background information. Does that work?

Hey I looked at it so that is what i will do and then I will send it to you soon! Thanks Kari!!

So i definitely understand the busy crazy week, and not a problem, i just wasn't sure, I will update the host page as soon as possible, does anyone have any objections to the way it looks or think that i need to add more -- just let me know-- Thanks guys -Kari

Personally, I think the page looks fantastic!!!!! Thanks a ton for doing that. I will get it to you soon hopefully!! -Josh

It looks great! I will be working on my page tomorrow and get it posted on here! I am currently in Orlando for PBL and have been preparing for finals since I made it but after I present tomorrow I will have time to work on it! ~ Cassie

Here you go Kari! http://www.students.dsu.edu/jlthomas9194/SPED460/SpanishAmericansBackgroundInformation.htm Sorry it took a while! If you have any questions or want me to change anything just let me know. -Josh

Hey guys your pages look great -- but I'm sure he wants there to be a link on them back to the host page - so somewhere on the background page, teaching tips page, how they learn, and supportive links, there should be the ability to get to the host page -- Other than that they all look great so far, I work tonight, but will be able to update the host page with Cassie's link right after I get off so it will be done tonight. Thanks guys for being such awesome group members!! - Kari

Here is my URL so you can link it! I will finish the rest of the webpage tomorrow morning. I am in Orlando, headed to Chicago and wont have internet until tom! http://www.students.dsu.edu/cjzomer/SPED460/SpanishAmericans/SpanishAmericans.htm
