Mr. Johns

Working with a partner, you are going to create a website to advertise your new invention as your new business.

What do most business websites have in common? They have product informaiton pages, product comparisons to competitors, contact information, and information about the company.

Create a website for your new business using Google Sites. Here is a rubric for this project.

NOTE: this website should not be made viewable to the world and should only be made available to your team and to me. To do this, change the privacy settings on your site immediately.

Secondly, you need to make sure your website is attracting the right audience. So for homework, you will need to show your website to few people to know so they can give their initial thoughts to you on what works and what doesn't. In order to record this information, copy the Google Doc Website Peer Review

Make sure that both the website and the Website Peer Review are shared to pirsquared AT gmail DOT com.

Today you will collaborate with 1 person in class to create a presentation about a product that could revolutionize and improve the quality of your (and our) lives, which could be the next big multi-billion dollar idea!

To get started, we will be using this Google Presentation. Remember to sign to Google before accessing this link to download a copy of it.

Teams will be chosen in class. Once you know your partner, one of you will share the presentation to your team member so you can collaborate on it.

The template is meant to be a guide - if you have ideas to improve upon it, please feel free!

Please take this short survey so I can learn about your specific job / career interests.

Using this information, we are going to begin the process to help you understand what it takes to start a business of your own.

Today we will be studying "the competition" to get an idea of what products already exist in the market you want to enter.

To get started, sign in to google, then copy this google doc, and fill out the questions.
