Project

I was finally able to get my students signed up, and they had a great time experimenting with how they could create a page! Now we need to get serious, but I think I did not really understand how this will work.

My original plan was this: I set up a site with a blank page for each student, thinking they could each create their own page. But when I shared the site I realized they could not edit my site, and if they put it into their own resources (so they had a copy), they would each be editing a separate copy and everything would not be in one place.

So if I understood what I read in the help, they each need to create their own project, send me the link to it, and I set the links in my project to connect with their work. Is this correct? Or is there a better way to do this? I’d hate to get too far into the process before I find out I’m on the wrong track!

Thanks for any help you can give. It’s taking a while, but I’m still hopeful I’ll get this figured out!

I received this email and am sharing the exchange for the benefit of all:

Candace, I don’t know how it happened but I lost all my bookmarks and history…i am sure i will fix it, but I also can’t seem to get into either of my sites I made here. Can you help? http://tf.trintuition.com/slafaso/wes  is my computer lab page http://tf.trintuition.com/slafaso/gifted  is my Gifted and Talented website… and I want to share them with my students asap.  also, i couldn’t log into the whole site…said it didn’t recognize my name????

 My response: 

Do not panic. I think this is a combination of errors. I believe the address for your gifted page as you shared it on the blog ishttp://tf.trintuition.com/slafaso/GATEIt is working. I would double check that you are accessing trintuition from the special TF address  they set up for this project (linked from the sidebar of  the BLP blog for your convenience—click on “Launch the workbench” at the right or bookmark this link: http://tf.trintuition.com/

I suspect that you were trying to log into TRintuition with the www address (which would not “know” you). If you log into the workbench from the link above/at the right of the BLP blog, you can check on the URL for your computer lab again. I suspect that your recollection of the URl may be slightly off. 

FYI to ALL: We tried to make this blog your entry point for everything you do so you will see any new messages as you “pass through.” The link to the workBench from here is a special area of the workBench specifically for this project! NO www.

I am new to this project and need to get started.  I would really like to print out the step by step instructions in your tutorial.  Is there a way to do this?

Thank you

I just tried to have a class sign up so they could begin working on pages for our project, but when I click on “Have your students join you”, or when we go to trintuition.com/apply all we get is a message that says “oops . . . Sorry. There is no such group.” I guess I missed something in how to get students involved. I would appreciate any help you can give, as the students were all excited to get started and very disappointed when things didn’t work. Thank you.
