Design cont'd

After doing the video tests, I have decided not to add advertisements to the site. Perhaps once the site had enough visitors I might add some unobtrusive ads, but for now I'm going with clean and no distractions. My test subjects didn't like being asked to sign in on the home page. I will use the left box as a changing sub menu for each top navigation topic.







I will add a 'sign in' for the portfolio section of the site. The portfolio section will need a 'sign in'. The electronic portfolio allows teachers to collect, organize, and submit evidence of their competencies in meeting the California Pre-k through K subject matter standards.

Teachers will use the Portfolio as a tool for self assessment and reflection. Teachers can collect artifacts and create showcases that document teaching competencies aligned with the preliminary and professional clear California Standards for the Teaching Profession as well as the state and national (NETS) educational technology standards. As teachers collect artifacts and design showcases, they reflect on their teaching practice. Showcases may be published for public exhibition and shared with the professional community and parents.
