I'd like to see one about the teacher experience being improved as well. Tabitha Najera said that Blended Learning rescued or saved her... ejoneshome https://padlet.com/valdez5/81sb74y80ihahick/wish/2637380448 2023-07-03 21:33:32 UTC https://padlet.com/valdez5/81sb74y80ihahick/wish/2637380448 Right now the Showcase heading leads right to Blended Learning Lessons course and links. Remove that and share only showcase links and work products. I agree that more updated work products are reflections will appeal to people visiting the site as updated and that not only is our website current, but our courses are as well. ejoneshome https://padlet.com/valdez5/81sb74y80ihahick/wish/2637380661 2023-07-03 21:34:41 UTC https://padlet.com/valdez5/81sb74y80ihahick/wish/2637380661 Less words :) People don't read. ejoneshome https://padlet.com/valdez5/81sb74y80ihahick/wish/2637380784 2023-07-03 21:35:19 UTC https://padlet.com/valdez5/81sb74y80ihahick/wish/2637380784 rfender1218 https://padlet.com/valdez5/81sb74y80ihahick/wish/2637464572 I think the website's purpose is to provide prospective clients with information about the offerings available. ]]> 2023-07-04 00:47:00 UTC https://padlet.com/valdez5/81sb74y80ihahick/wish/2637464572 rfender1218 https://padlet.com/valdez5/81sb74y80ihahick/wish/2637466089 individuals who are interested as well as district leaders who are able to make decisions about allowing employees to take the course]]> 2023-07-04 00:49:02 UTC https://padlet.com/valdez5/81sb74y80ihahick/wish/2637466089 rfender1218 https://padlet.com/valdez5/81sb74y80ihahick/wish/2637466641 I agree that there should be a couple testimonials about the courses. ]]> 2023-07-04 00:49:42 UTC https://padlet.com/valdez5/81sb74y80ihahick/wish/2637466641 rfender1218 https://padlet.com/valdez5/81sb74y80ihahick/wish/2637467740 updates on showcase items, more recent testimonials (some are from the first year--I know because one is from a Lytle teacher)]]> 2023-07-04 00:50:56 UTC https://padlet.com/valdez5/81sb74y80ihahick/wish/2637467740 rfender1218 https://padlet.com/valdez5/81sb74y80ihahick/wish/2637471587 More clarity on Blended Learning Offerings page, the "Offerings" at the bottom is way too low on the page. That is the reason people are going to that page. Maybe move that up and remove the "Courses" sidebar on the right? The sidebar doesn't include all the offerings, making those "big ticket" items for using the grant funds overlooked. I think the PDF is also in the wrong place. Someone may click on that without even knowing what the offerings are, and not look any further. (Need to update the pricing document.) 

I also agree with less words]]> 2023-07-04 00:55:26 UTC https://padlet.com/valdez5/81sb74y80ihahick/wish/2637471587 I am wondering if we have a tab that says Teachers and a tab that says Administrators where we share the process for enrollment...something we can refer them to valdez5 https://padlet.com/valdez5/81sb74y80ihahick/wish/2638909185 2023-07-05 16:32:49 UTC https://padlet.com/valdez5/81sb74y80ihahick/wish/2638909185 I feel like each course should have a graphic testimonial with it, right at the top, or some kind of eye catching graphic that sums up the course, there's a lot of text valdez5 https://padlet.com/valdez5/81sb74y80ihahick/wish/2638910108 2023-07-05 16:35:09 UTC https://padlet.com/valdez5/81sb74y80ihahick/wish/2638910108
