Editor's Notes
Post these objectives in the room
Give the class more time to explore the site and share how the site has impacted peoples lives.
Discuss these questions and how the beehive can help.
Take the time to go through the site. Point out where they will see their name when they register. When you are explaining this section, make sure you have the website up in some way. If a projector set up is not possible, just encourage your students to go ahead and click through the site on their own computers.
Top Bar- Page Header- this bar is repeated on every page, giving you the option to change your location, switch from English to Spanish (Espanol), see the current weather in Atlanta, search the page, log in or out, and visit “my page” which allows you to participate in discussions and edit your account information. Primary Links (2 nd top bar) – Here’s where you can access information about the five critical areas – Money, Health, School, Jobs, and Housing. Click on any topic to go to get important information in these areas. Left hand side- This bar contains links to information relevant to the page. Because this is the Atlanta Beehive home page, this section shows Atlanta relevant news and links. On other pages (e.g. the Money Page) this area shows a list of links to tools and topics available in the section (Money). Right Hand Side: Secondary Links – Here’s where you can access information about other exciting features. On the home page this area shows most visited websites and editors picks, but on section pages it also has links to social media related to the page topics.
SAY: Once you explain this to your class, stop and survey the class to see how many do not have email addresses. If everyone has an email, you may want to skip the next section. However, if a few people do not, then do the next section, emphasizing that those that do should listen to the next section so that they can teach others in their community how to set up an email.
Encourage participants to write down their email addresses and passwords in internet support card. Team up those that have a yahoo addresses with those that don’t, and allow class members to help each other get an account. Let class members send short emails to each other.
Have each of the participants send you an email. Now you have their email addresses. This is a great way to keep up with your classes. You can make folders with the date of each class so you can remember where the email address came from and send out mass emails.
Now that you have taught the class how to set up a yahoo email address, and everyone has an address, you can teach the class how to customize their My Page on the beehive.
Note: If you are doing a live set up, ask for a volunteer to set up their account using your computer hooked up to the projector.
Click on the health tab. 1. In this section: On the left-hand side of the screen there is a list of hyperlinks to all of the tools and topics in the “Health E-Checkup” section. Click on any of these links to get redirected to those pages. 2. Center: This is the content you just clicked on “Health E-Checkup” to see. It summarizes the content and invites you to read more: Just click on any of the blue read more links. This content changes periodically to reflect national events and news, such as World AIDS day, and new information about what age women should start getting regular mammograms, as you see here. 3. Right Hand Side: This side bar contains a series of useful boxes including: Toolbox: this has real tools to help you related to the major topic of Health (in this example). For example, the BMI calculator will help you determine if you have a healthy weight, the “how medicine affects your body” is an interactive diagram of the body with information on the organs affected by medicine. Join in! This section has areas where you can participate in discussions about the Health topics on the page. Because you have already created a profile on My Beehive, when you click on a link such as “vent about my healthcare bill” you will be able to post a reply by clicking on the discussion thread. You can monitor all your discussion activity by visiting My Beehive and clicking on the View tab. Local Resources. This is a really great feature of the beehive which provides you with real local resources related to the topics on the page. In this case there are 82 resources related to Health Care-information. Click on the link to get a list of resources close to your zip code, serving your area, or national. If you would like to get resources for another location, simply type in a new zip code.
If the resources you get are not local, try typing in a new zip code. Click on Resource locator home to get a list of topics that you can find local information on.
Use the questions from the beechallenge to start a short discussion, particularly on the first question.
