[edit] Box tweaking

Hi Wes, you may not have realised it, but you solved some box tweaking I hadn't been able to work (on your user page). Thanks. :) -- Jtneill - Talk 15:59, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi Wes, I saw your user page creation and figured you might have used that collapsible box code. But I hadn't been able to get rid of the padding/border for subsequent boxes. Your box code worked! Good luck with Biology pages. -- Jtneill - Talk 03:05, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New biology portal for secondary education

Hi, Wesley. I just created Portal:Biology for high school biology teachers. You may wish to take a look and help develop it. For example, we need some featured content! Drop me a note if you need any help. --McCormack 14:31, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] High School Biology

I'd like to help with High School Biology. How to you envision this "course to make it easy for a reader to learn biology"? Is your target self-paced learning by individuals or a collection online resources that would be used by students in a conventional school under the direction of an instructor? --JWSchmidt 00:20, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

"Any contributions you make will be greatly appreciated." <-- I've taught biology at the college level only, so knowing where to start and what to say to students who are in high school is a problem for me. I need some way to orient myself towards the needs of this target audience. --JWSchmidt 04:06, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Request by SOM

I really like what you have done with the front page of high school biology. I was hoping you could do something similar with the school of medicine. If you are not too busy and willing to help, I would like to discuss this with you further. Go raibh mile maith agaibh 09:47, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your quick response. I have already started trying to improve the layout of the school and ease of use but I have no idea how to present the front page. I won't be addressing the issue for a while at least but if you have time, you can have a look at the front page, which I haven't touched yet. I have designed the school's first module and written the first lesson, the presentation of which were both initially inspired by the high school biology framework. I wanted some outside opinion as to improvements that can be made. But as I said, plenty of time. Thanks again for getting back to me. Go raibh mile maith agaibh 18:04, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
