Truthfuly, tell me what you think


It's been a few years, but I have created another website for my students. Please check it out and let me know what you think. I am willing (and hopefully able) to make changes so my students actually use it. Here is the address - http://mrfreemanschemistry.tripod.com/.
The pic was made using Fireworks - one of my final courses I took this summer. The site was created using FrontPage - another course I took this summer. '
I'm serious, be critical, I can take it. Thanks in advance, I know this is not controversial, but I could use some pointers/critiques/suggestions.

choose a bright/light color (or white) for "Mr. Freeman's..." so it is more readable against the dark backgrounds.

I thought the the "Chemistry I" page was a better layout than the "Chemistry Honors" - I thought this page was way too busy and not logically displayed....

You are not being consistent in your headers.....You have some of them centered, bold, and normal while others are italic and left-justified. I guess since I am a system designer, I look for things to be done the same throughout the system - one look, one feel.

If you really want me to comment more, please let me know.

Matt thanks, and Sonya keep 'em coming. I have two weeks before I need them to be "done" since we don't start until after Labor Day. I said to give suggestions, and I will work on it. It is rough, I know.

Wow!!!! I think the fact that your students have the ability to print out notes and study guides is fantastic and also to look at the book on-line if they forget to bring it home (which you know kids do). The kids at your school are lucky to have you because I am sure you are one heck of a teacher. Other teachers should do the same if they aren't already.

I agree with Matt the Mr. Freeman's Chemistry is hard to read

Mcgon said...

what's with the no extra credit!!!?? Wouldn't want you as a teacher!
I agree with the mr freeman not standing out. Try a bright color with a dark drop shadow or dark emboss.

Rock, most students don't want ME for a teacher. So many complaints/suggestions about my pic. I will have to make a new one (gotta find the disc - it's around here somewhere).

Hey folks, I changed the site and eliminated the picture above the post. I still want people to check it out and help my students get a good site they will use.

There are ads on a page for students?

Steve Freeman said...

It's a free page, our district is too cheap to grant us space on the district server. So, yep!

"Welcome to Mr. Freeman's website. You should be able to get to many things that are used in class and also you can get to some of the district's website also."...steve, you have also in there twice

Steve Freeman said...

Did anyone other the Kristen see double? I checked the HTML and saw nothing and could not see the intro twice. Let me know if anyone else is seeing things twice.

kristen said...

the whole thing isnt twice...just the word "also"...."and also you can get to some of the district's website also"

mj jones said...

yes I see what she means it should read---

You should be able to get to many things that are used in class and you can also get to some of the district's website.

Sonya C said...

I see it too....
