Watching this video really gave me
some good ideas on how to make an effective website. As a teacher, I will most
likely have a personal website or blog so that I can communicate with my
students and their parents about what is coming up on the calendar and give
general announcements. John McWade talked about a few key things to think about
in this tutorial. He talked about keeping the design of the website simple and
giving each page a focal point, as opposed to just a bunch of words on a page.
He also talked about showcasing your work to grab the audience’s attention. I
tried to think of ways to incorporate this as a teacher and I thought it would
be neat if you showed pictures of your classroom so that parents can see the
environment that their children are learning in. Also, since I want to teach
such young children, I thought it would be great to have a gallery page of all
the children’s artworks and crafts. John McWade talked about many other ideas
too but these were a couple that really stood out to me in his discussion.
This is the certificate I got for completing the tutorial. It says my dad's name because I used his credit card to register for the free trial.
