Group_3



We go to an IB School. It is the Baccalaureate School for Global Education (BSGE). Our mascot is the IB Bee. Our website is http://bsge.org/. It is not very effective with communication since it's barely ever updated. We are trying to change that. We also have a school newspaper, which has recently made its school-wide debute. It is [|The Bacc Rag]. We also have a [|Google Partner Page]. Here are our ideas for a better website:


 * The teachers should have videos introducing themselves (background, experience) and a course description.
 * School Faculty (principal, assistant principal etc.)should have a message,where he/she can say something about school and introduce themselves.
 * There should be pictures of all teachers.
 * We should change our web site's pictures every month.
 * We should put our school building's picture on our home page.
 * We should have pictures of graduating class.
 * We should have our yearbook in the school website.
 * We should change the home page and make it more attractive for others.
 * We should have a video where some students can talk about their experiences.
 * For school directions we should put a map showing our school.
 * The website should be more animated and interactive.
 * There should also be translations available for people who only understand a language other than English.
 * Students should have accounts for the website in which students can have forums, wikis or blogs; in order to communicate with each other.
 * We should have a link to our Google accounts.
 * We should talk about the activities that are going on in school.
 * All teachers should have a website, in which they show what they are doing in their class, the lesson, and the homework.
 * We should have a link to our student websites.
 * We should have sites for each grade, in which there is information regarding exams and such.
 * We should feature our mascot.
 * We should have a link to our newspaper, The Bacc Rag.
