Week 0 | Asked Mrs. Dafoe to be our sponsor. She agreed. |
Week 1 |
Feedback/Requirement:
- give positive reinforcement to a reader - positive reinforcement can be in the form of earning points or something similar - positive reinforcement makes them want to go back - positive enforcement for us is social - reading group, get connected - some sort of channel for people to share their ideas and opinions regarding books - drop down menu of really easy and accessible titles - give books a "bio" so readers can preview them and find what they might be interested in - link to forum where you can do discussion - Website is catered to 2 groups: - People who want to get into reading - People who already read but want to explore deeper - Do this by creating a form of a directory when you first create the website and allows you to reach different home pages - two different forums, for two different groups - two different main pages for the two types of people - forums need to be monitored to avoid misuse and inappropriate behavior - Make the website more personalized; based off of previous reads what would someone like to read in the future? - Note: Make sure the website isn't too general, make it more personalized and in depth so that it's unique. - different genre match feature - ex: non-fiction and fiction, how do they relate? |
Week 2 |
Feedback/Requirement:
- Showed her our visuals - Agreed on a Creative Commons Liscence --> if other csp students want to make reading websites from this that's okay --> just to have to attribute our work - Suggested that pages are like a choose your own adventure (once you choose a side, either reading or non reading, you go to pages that are not displayed on nav bar) - More info on curriculum books --> said students can lose interest - Make it more interactive with the student curriculum - Presented the Mr. M's feedback (have some teacher admin where they can add books) --> she really liked it - Thought she could use the admin feature to add popular books student could read for reading zone/book talks she can update it |
Week 6 |
Feedback/Requirement:
- more interactive features for students - maybe a notepad with local storage - organize tools - maybe separate into different categories rather than one dropdown menu - implement more security to keep everything school appropriate - add another login check to forum feature - reading calendar to help students keep a consistent schedule |
