Group Activity w/ Ally Rodriguez - C.R.A.P Website Design


  • CONTRAST =  The background is red while text boxes are cream so they stand out and are easy to read. Titles of the articles were black and in all caps so they would stand out. Text was bright and and contrasted well against cream to make it more visible. 
  • REPETITION= The teacher should have stuck to using the same color text within a text box to make the webpage more uniform. Many different text colors within the same section make it confusing since there is so much to look at. However, by using the same font throughout titles and text it is visually appealing. 
  • ALIGNMENT= The text is aligned left which makes it easy to read. There is also equal space between each section of text within the boxes. The welcome image isn't aligned center so it looks out of place. 
  • PROXIMITY= Boxes about what they are learning and what their assignments are are all grouped together. Information geared towards parents such as contact information and announcements is located near the top together. It can be improved by having the school's contact information near the teachers contact information.

Communication with parents is crucial in the classroom in order for success, while f...

Image
For my second ILP I used the software Canva to create an inforgraphic on how to establish S.M.A.R.T. It was very interesting to see all the different things you could do with this website from creating ebooks, binder covers, business cards, to inforgraphics. Once you selected what you wanted to create there was multiple different graphics, themes, images, fonts and other ways to make your inforgraphic appealing and easy to read. I feel inforgraphics are a way to engage learners, especially visual through an organized text with pictures to teach or educate someone on a toic and can be very useful in classrooms. My infogrpahic is posted and linked below. S.M.A.R.T GOALS INFOGRAPHIC!!
