UPDATES for 26/2/08

Hi guys,

those of you who made it to the lunchtime lesson good work!

- I'll have the powerpoint revision for the upcoming outcome on the site as soon as Ms Chasen sends it.

- I'm also working on scanning the handouts to make sure that everyone has got anything but it might take a while because there's a lot (and I've got a few outcomes coming up....)

- If you guys haven't tried already, the Mr Split Brainy link wasn't completely functional, but that's fixed now so it should be good revision.

- Hopefully within the next two weeks I'll be able to put links to youtube so that we can find relevant videos for class. I should be able to reconfigure the site so that you can watch the video on this site rather than clicking on a link, fingers crossed. :)

- I've changed the settings for the blog so that people don't need to be a member of Blogger to make comment, but it would be really nice if you guys put down your names and not just type "Anonymous"...However, let me know if this doesn't work.

- I've decided to extend the poll about improvements for the site to the 10/3/08 rather than until the 1/3/08...

- All polls will be relevant to recent work (except the "NOVELTY" ones) and will end Fridays every week except for if there is an upcoming outcome that would make the poll really handy quick revision. The novelty poll is located beneath the pictures of the study guides on the left side of the site.
NOVELTY polls will end every Friday.

- Hopefully in the next week, I will also have added the suggestions for what people want to do to improve the site from the incomplete poll results.

- Email me questions for what to put in the "Frequently Asked Questions" section, at either my school email: fon0056@balwynhs.vic.edu.au
or my home email: sf15391@hotmail.com

- And EVERYONE start begging Ms Chasen to come and visit the blog regularly otherwise the suggestions poll for "c) an individual questions section for Ms Chasen" won't work.

I think that's all the updates for today. Sorry there's a lot... :)

Good luck in preparing for the poster outcome!
