After researching the use of blogs in American classrooms, I decided that I'd like to have a class blog or website once I become a teacher. I think it's a very useful tool for students and parents of students, and Dr. Christie's site will be very helpful because she gives advice and links for web design.
First, I read her tips for a good web design such as limiting your screen to no more than five colors, using font large enough to read, writing text using everyday language, and always keeping your target audience in mind. Also, she gives links to sites that offer graphics, banners, fonts, and backgrounds. She even includes some that you can save directly from her Web Tool Kit.
Dr. Christie explains the importance of a photo's size and how to use text in photos. She also shows how to change the color and gradient of photos. In addition, she has links to examples of good and bad website designs. Also, she gives examples of good and bad web page names.
I like how she has a rubric for evaluating the usefulness of websites done by teachers, schools, districts, educational programs, and colleges/universities. This is an excellent tool for deciding whether your site is helpful and functional. Another great thing to know about is Copyright and Fair Use Guidelines for Teachers. This tells educators how they can use copyrighted material.
