Its MI Life ( www.ItsMILife.com): This site anchored of a social network for teens making choices about college. As project director, I participated in focus groups and surveys then planned and supervised the building of this site, which was supported through a grant to My Child, a nonprofit organization. From late 2008 until the site launched in April 19, 2010, we recruited and worked with high school students to blog, create video and participate in the website. When funding ran out for itsMILife, the state of michigan took over the site and the mission, with the intention of creating a portal for college-bound high school students.
NancyHanus.com This is my own personal site, which I started by creating in Drupal in 2008, with the intention of teaching myself enough about Drupal to be proficient in the content management system. After creating several offshoots such as a Moodle site for students and personal sites for my daughter and dad, I chose to migrate to WordPress, which was more “plug-and-play” when it came to updates. Over the years, I created more than a dozen WordPress sites, but some were lost in a hosting debacle in 2015. What you see here is a recreation of my old sites, with posts that update what I’ve been doing the past few years.
Classroom sites have become a focus in the past 10 years as I have added “educator” to my resume, as I involve the students in more online activities. I have several now, and each serves its own purpose:
