12 December - 25 December

• finished re-doing pre-load for studentWork/ pages that have mulitple movies
  • you should now be able to edit every page in your graphical editor as before. sorry for the mix-up there before. (i forgot that you use that and not the code editor)
• finished timeline
• where are these movies in the site? (they are listed in the movie list, but I can't find them)
  • I coded in the generic code for these so it will be easier and faster to add them when you get me this info but they are not yet working
  • Approaches to Effective Professional Development
  • Classroom Controversy
  • Common Misunderstandings
    • there is a page for this movie that I linked to, but the page is missing all content
  • Critique of the Prachute Task
  • Powerful Questions
    • I overheard you tell Brian that this movie was no longer in the site so I took it out. It's easy enough to put it back in if I'm mistaken.
  • Transfer Task: Design a Model Helicopter
  • Transfer Task: Parachute Challenge
    • WHICH ONE? Tech Ed or Science classroom? (see assessmentStandards/transferTasks.html)
  • Working In Groups
  • Parachute Model - Regular
  • Parachute Model - Slow Mo
• you had me delete the second movie in whatIsDesign/ which was scDsgEnd.mov. So I deleted the Difference: Science, Design, Technology from the movie list because it is no longer in the site. I can put it back easy enough if we put the movie back in later.
• tested all the links in movieList.html
  • all of them work (save the ones mentioned above)
  • need to check Getting Started with a Design Challenge and Problems with homework popups. THey are not launching a new window for transcripts (they are opening the transcripts in themselves)
• I'd like to go thru the movieList and match up each movie title with the actual title of the movie itself. please let me know when the final rendered movies are up so that I can do this (for instance, I know Juggling needs to be changed to Balancing as we discussed and Design and Inquiry still needs to be changed to Design vs. Inquiry to match the site as we also discussed)
• still missing balancing.mov (formerly juggling.mov)
• new files to download
  • studentWork/studentInterviews (both)
  • studentWork/gender (all 4)
  • studentWork/compareDrops (all 3)
  • movieList.html
  • moviePopups/balancing.html
  • moviePopups/chalPhysSci.html
  • moviePopups/edDemo.html
  • moviePopups/nuffield.html
  • moviePopups/woodieFL.html
• went thru dev/ site and cleaned up .DS_Store and Thumbs.db files that were causing problems with FTP
• uploaded everything to dev/ server

• continued work on the search functionality
• David, please check your notes for 12.12.2002. I need those questions answered before I can continue with any HTML work.

• continued more work on search function
• fixed links to the following pages on movie list
  • Approaches to Effective Professional Development
  • Controversy: Did the Winner Win?
  • deleted Critique of Parachute Task
  • deleted Transfer Task: Design a Model Helicopter
  • split Transfer Task: Parachute Challenge into two movies
    • Transfer Task: Tech Ed
    • Transfer Task: Science
  • Working In Groups
  • deleted Parachute Model - (Regular and Slow Mo)
• changed "Thematic Movies" to "Movies By Topic"
• added How Parachutes Work video to keyConcepts/howParachutesWork.html
• added Common Misunderstanding video to keyConcepts/commonMisunder.html

• need to add chrsCont movie to teachingStrategies/balancingActs.html

• woodieFL.mov STILL needs to be made smaller
  • Cliff sent me the correct one
• edTran.mov STILL needs to be made larger
  • Cliff said this one had to be re-compressed to the correct size
• feather.mov is smaller than the rest of the movies. Cliff told me it came pre-compressed so he's unable to change the pre-select sizes (small, medium, large). Large is too big and medium is slightly smaller than the size we're currently using on the site.
• fixed these slight movie monidfications
• added chrsCont movie to teachingStrategies/balancingActs.html
• continued working on search (should be done with online version of this tomorrow, got in touch with OIT and Tech's search)

• edited graphics of student reports for new site layout
• created Student Reports page under Student Work tab (studentWork/studenrReports.html)
  • please check the content of this page. I took it straight from the old site. seems to fit, but just to be safe, check it
• search currently takes you to result page but site needs to be indexed by Tech's spider. Waiting on response from coc on this.
  • search requires Internet connection right now. let me know if you want it taken off the dev/ files so those files can be used to develop the imediate needs of the CD.
• uploaded everything to dev/ server
