As
webmaster for JBHS since our first year (1998),
I invite you to tour our school's website.
It represents a vision of what a school website
might be. If it falls short of that vision,
it is understandable as the website is a voluntary
project with no funding. Still, we hope you
will come away from the experience feeling
that it's worth returning to again and again,
e.g. worthy of making one of your browser's
"favorites" or "bookmarks"!
Please
let me know if you have any difficulties
viewing this web page or any others at
the Jesse Bethel web site. You can reach
me through the following email address
web
master@jessebethel.net.
There
are many great categorized links available
through a visit to our web site's IMC,
as well as at the Counselors' Department
for post-high school planning. Please
visit those areas.
The following
are some useful links for web surfers:
- Favorite
Search Resources: Beacoup Links & DMOZ
Open Project
Directory
- Interested
in Power Point as an art medium?
Check out the inventory
of Power Points available for download
from the Nebo School District (Utah)
-
Software Download Resource: TuCows
- Don't
forget to check out the JBHS "Freebies
& Downloads" section.
- Sick
of Pop Ups, Pop Unders, endless online
promotion, stealth cookies AND crashing
hard drives from the assault on your
browsing? Here are two useful ways
to avoid those annoying things. Use
"MYWAY.com"
instead of Yahoo, Hotmail, etc.,
for free webmail and a personal page.
Also, StopZilla
is a great tool for intercepting
popups and cookies before they can
invade your system. There's a free
2-wk try out. After my browser was
"hijacked" and after trying
a couple of free popup blocker programs,
I found this one the most effective
& worth the $19.95 a year cost.
- AutumnStar.com
is my own domain, a kind of working
studio for the art of web design.
It also offers some very useful links,
such as the Autumn
Star's Bookmarks and Solano
Links for Solano County residents

Meet
the Teacher! - Greetings!
"Mrs. Malchiodi Albedi"
is a mouthful to say, so most students
just call me "Mrs. Malchiodi"
or simply "Mrs. M". But
if you want to give it a try, say
" m-al-key-oh-dee al-beh-dee".
In Latin, mal=bad AND chiodi=nails
And, yes, I do have bad nails! Was
that more information than you thought
you'd want to know? That's one tell-tale
sign of a "born teacher".
Most of my childhood was spent in
Fairfield, though my earliest memories
are of Germany. I've been a teacher
since 1977 when the U.S. Peace Corp
trained me to teach EFL/ESP. I've
been a full-time teacher with the
V.C.U.S.D. since 1993. In addition
to teaching, I've enjoyed work as
a Real Estate agent, educational
contract co-ordinator for the U.S.
military and especially work as a
salesgirl in Paris'
Galarie Lafayette on Blvd. Hausmannn,
near the Opera House. Sometimes,
it just isn't about the money! -
the teacher's a motto.
An
extended single-life, with much world
travel and opportunity for scholarly
pursuits, was enjoyed before meeting
my husband, Alfredo. He holds his
university degree in art & art/architectural
history from Rome's Fine Art Academy.
He has created many unique posters
and certificates of achievement for
the school and created the graphic
identity & initial 39 different
banners for our school website. Our
small family includes our dog and
cat, Scooby and Mimi.
This
web site is for students and parents
to use as an informational resource.
You can learn about my classes by
clicking
here and here!
There is also a ".doc"
letter to parents that may be
downloaded to read on your home computer.
The beautiful keyboarding certificate
is available for view at this
site, too.
Acceptable
use policies are commonplace
with school districts around the
country. You can learn more about
them at Cyberbee. It is very important
for students and parents to understand
the V.C.U.S.D.'s Internet
and Computer Use Policy; it is
fully implimented. Computers are
wonderfully fun learning tools.
It
is a legal requirement that all students
taking using
school computers need to submit and
have on file with us the school district's
Consent
& Waiver form. This form
must be read and signed by both student
and parents. A power point presentation
on the basic
points of policy for classroom use
of computers is available for
view online. To view this power point
online, you will need
Internet Explore v.5
or better and may need to download
the free plug-in from Microsoft
if you do not have Power Point or
Office 2003 or better.
The
"Consent & Waiver"
form has a quiz on the backside for
students to take after reading &
signing the form; it's called the
"Internet Surfing License Quiz".
80% or better is a passing grade.
Wonder if you're ready for that license?
Test yourself with this online
quiz. It is very similar to the
one on the backside of "Consent
& Waiver Form". You will
need to have Internet Explorer version
6 or better as your web browser for
the online quiz to work.
My
daily classroom activities support
our school's committment to high
literacy standards and reading skills
improvement among our students. Sustained
Silent Reading (SSR) is an essential
tool for the achievement of those
goals. In addition to the school-wide
goal of increased student literacy,
there are unique requirements for each course of study.
