Beware the footer!

In previous years a few students did a lot of work in the footer. The footer is repeated on every page and sub-page on the site. This caused them a lot of work to get their work out of the footer and onto the correct page. This video is designed to ensure less students make that mistake in 2019.

I suggest all student create a small footer that relates to the learning habits of: Strive, Connect, Create, Reflect & Respect.

Documents need to be saved to your Google Drive in order for them to be inserted into your site. Saving as PDF is a great way to ensure the document is readable on multiple devices.

Structure for Year 9 & Year 10 Students

Some classes will be creating a "New Google Site" which will have evidence of learning from all their timetabled classes and information about extra curricular activities as well. The video below shows how to set the site up. The site may grow into a celebration of learning, a reflection on learning and may provide evidence of the learning habits: Strive, Connect, Create, Reflect & Respect.
