Alright! I went through and got some of the links to change colors. I was also able to fix some of the formatting issues in the links page, but not all of them... The editor for this site is so glitchy. It looks great in editor mode, but when you save it, nothing changes... So, I am calling it good!

Thanks for being such a great group, Meg and Kara! It's been a pleasure working with you :)

Are we done?

Meg, if you go to my PBL in Action page, there's a link at the bottom of the page that says something like "To learn more about schools who are already using PBL, watch this short video on YouTube." The word "YouTube" is the link to my original project which is a video I made. Also, my 3 new sites, as well as my 2 web evals are on the link page.

One thing that I see that needs to be done is that while the font color/size seems to be consistent, the link colors are not consistent. Most of them are a darkish blue-gray color, but some are just dark gray like the text. We need this to be consistent across all the pages, and I think they should be colored like most of them are to set them apart as links and not just underlined text.. The Digital Stories page, Lesson Plans page, and Podcast page have black links or at least inconsistently colored links. Also, the links page is formatted really inconsistently with different fonts and colors and things are aligned weirdly so I find it kind of hard to read. Once those things are taken care of, I'll be comfortable with turning it in.

I'm about to make the drive from Mt. Pleasant to Kalamazoo, so I'll be out of touch until 10:30-11:00. I'll get back on as soon as I'm back in town to see if those things still need to be taken care of. If they do, I can take care of that and then I will submit it. If either you take care of the color and formatting issues between now and then feel free to submit it! I just think we need to make sure everything looks polished :)
Ok, I tried to tighten the concept map closer together. im not sure how to get the size to get smaller. see if that is better.
Ok Side bar is done. I included my three website that were evaluated and my three new ones are in the Links.
I posted my 2 digital stories and gave them a description.
Ok I think I figure out how to organize side bar. How do you guys want to organize it. 1. Easy ways to bring PBL into classroom 2. PBL in Action 3. Lesson Plans 4. Local History of Kalamazoo Unit 5. Standards 6. digital Stories 7. Podcast 8. Safe websurfing 9. links ...this is how I was going to arrange them but wasn't so sure.
Have you each added a new original project?  I did a lesson plan on the moundbuilders.
did you each add three new websites?  I've lost track!
