Considerations “…text needs to be bigger/bolder and also include less words because some parts are overwhelming.”

Considerations “One more tutorial on how to upload a file to the website so students could see how their work would actually be displayed.”

Considerations “…it would be good to have a "go-to" person on campus that could help if teachers could not figure out the problems that students may run into with the site.”

Considerations “…teachers can also consider Google Apps for education.”

Considerations Create a summary video ◦ Pages ◦ Sub-pages

Conclusion Good alternative to paper-based

Conclusion Implementation would depend on the administrator and teachers
