Summary
From the Paper:
"The website will feature artwork, projects, and exceptional accomplishments by the students so they have the opportunity to see purpose and mastery of their work. Students will also be able to create their own pages on the website, only listing their in-class nickname or first name only for security reasons, and will be able to decorate it any way they wish. In doing this, they will also gain mastery over basic website design tools and techniques. In addition to promoting mastery of their own pages and the use of fundamental Web page editing tools, the students will also have the autonomy within limits to express themselves creatively. It is hoped that combining mastery and purpose the students will be motivated to excel even more academically to showcase their accomplishments online. Security in the form of first names only, even nicknames, and no actual photographs of the children themselves will be enforced to protect their identity and confidentiality."A third channel of the communications plan will be e-mail. This channel will be first used to broadcast updates to the grade scorecards and also alert both parents and teachers of entries on the virtual parent teacher conference area of the portal. New activity updates will also be broadcast using e-mail as well. One-on-one conversations will be scheduled through e-mail but completed on the secured area of the portal itself for privacy."
