Interchapter 8

This chapter was about making a classroom website. Throughout reading this, I kept thinking of pizza. It wasn't just because I was dreadfully hungry, it's that the chapter made the process sound like pizza making.

Step one was to story board or get a general idea of what you want. When making a pizza you have to think about what sort of toppings you might want, the sauce to use, thin crust or thin, etc. The same as a classroom website. You have to decided which population to guide it to (parents or adults), do you include information about yourself, if so how much?, etc.

Step Two was content. When making a pizza you eventually have to decide what to do with it, otherwise you end up with a disgusting mess that no one wants to eat. Websites are the same way! If you just slop things together without really thinking about it, you will not only look unprofessional but you will more than likely turn your target audience away from your website.

Step Three was Check Criteria. When you make a pizza you must make sure that you have all of the ingredients on the pizza. After all, what is a pizza without sauce? When creating a website it is important to make sure you satisfy all of the criteria. Otherwise your pizza won't be tasting very well if you know what I mean.
