Today was the unveiling of the new MrKnaus.com. I was excited, nervous and anxious. I saw a few students on the stairs going to class and several of them said they had already looked at the site and had questions. Imagine. Students looking at a classroom website during non-class hours. Be still my heart!
I quickly found out that I had it set up quite wrong. I had all the warm-up pages together, all the lesson plans together, and all the exit slips together. Thankfully, I was using Weebly and it was a simple as dragging pages around to make it work. Problems happened about half way through moving pages around. Weebly went down. It was only down for about 30 minutes and I think it may have just been my account. That impacted my plan for one of my classes (with a district director observing). We plowed through with other things though and survived.
Now I have all the information for one class listed together: lesson plan, warm-up, sample blog and exit slips. It seems to be a better fit.
I also pointed out the links to Facebook and Twitter even though they don't show up at school. So far, I've got no new followers on either page. I hope that a few take it on as they were the students were the ones who requested it.
