This is a very rough plan for my classroom website. I developed a needs analysis survey to find out what type of information is most important to the families in my classroom. When I have these results, I'll know more about the specif links, buttons, etc. I plan on the theme changing with our curricular theme at the time. So for now, this is the rough plan! Text answers are below the photos.
Site Title: Not sure, may have students vote. Something like Welcome to Room 7 or
Sycamore_________’s.
Developer: Lenora Hester
Rational/Focus: The classroom website will serve as a means
of communication with families. I will
use a needs analysis survey to determine what content is most important to the
families.
Main Features: Buttons will link to pages with content based
on the needs analysis. There will
be a photo slideshow of kids in action
and text to describe the photos and current theme.
Content: a themed home page will link to separate pages
such as calendar, homework, ways to help your child, learning website links, a
kid news page, etc. This will depend on
the parents’ responses to the needs analysis.
Target Audience: My classroom families and students.
Design Considerations: The design will be based on current classroom
theme such as, arctic animals.
Limiting Factors: I anticipate some limitations with some families
being able to access the website on outdated computers.
