Multi-Page Project (ABC Book)




This is an ABC book that I'm working on. Any feedback would be helpful! I'm still trying to find objects for some letters, so it isn't finished yet.

User Interface Design



The inventions of the web was a great stride forward and allowed user the ability to consume information from various web sites. But, users soon began to want more. In 1999 the term web 2.o was coined. Web 2.o is more than just a static website. Some web 2.0 content allows for user interaction with the web site. This could include filling out forms, sharing content, providing feedback, etc. For users to be able to have these options someone has to design them. The people designing the content are called user interface designers. They design the content or interface so that it will be user friendly and interactive to the user. 

Below are several links to videos, articles, and picture examples. Some of these links will seem familiar and are the same as the ones found in the learning module, while others are new links. There are videos, articles, and picture examples to cater to the different ways people learn. You do not have to look at all of the links just pick a few to help gain a better understanding of user interface design and answer the questions at the bottom. The links provided are just a starting point and are by no means a comprehensive list of user interface design, so if you have a different source feel free to use it and post a link in the blog.

Website in Progress

Below is the link to a website in Wordpress I am building for the Ed Tech Program.  For my final project I am creating an online business plan deliverable document template for my students using Wordpress as the platform so it is important to use it as my website platform for my final portfolio.  As mentioned, it is a work in progress.  I am working to link music to it so it plays when logging in.  That is a feature I will expect my students to use in their site deliverable.
