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

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.
