Website+Design

Post Webpage Design info here.

It appears that we have fewer applications in this content area.

Do we need to consider this for High School only?

I wouldn't limit to High School only- I think kids as young as 3rd grade can easily make websites. Maybe defining specific content goals might help? I'd like to see a business website for a real or fictituous business. I'd like to see a database driven website division for High School - what do you all think?

I have to agree we should not limit it to the High School only. Defining specific content goals is not a bad idea, but I would not want to discourage new learners whether they are Middle or High School level from participating because of an advanced requirement.

I am working on a couple rough drafts of rubrics (two) right now, I will try to post one for input and editing. (I don't quite know how to put them into this wiki). Later this afternoon I will e-mail the one to Karla and see if she has a way of putting them in or distributing them. My idea is to have a rubric, that both the Middle and High School student can understand, with an introduction to how the website should be created, more of a project-based learning experience. Just an idea?

Here are some of my ideas for areas of assessment: Design - Does the website show a visually appealing look? Are the colors and text complimentary and easy to read? Does the layout have a logical flow?

Creativity – Does the website project or topic show the students independence in learning and idea making?

Navigation – Is the website easy to navigate forwards and backwards, with working hyperlinks, opening within the constraints of a laptop monitor (I will have some specs for this listed or assist them)?

Content – Does the website stay focused on the purpose of the topic? Is the organization of the information clear and logical? Does the content have a logical flow?

Mechanics (Grammar) – Is the textual grammar and usage correct?

Copyright – Are the sources cited or listed and credit given to sources used from others? Is copyright law followed?

Legal Compliance – ADA compliant for disabilities.

Documentation – Does the student understand the content they have created?
