Journal #4 Project Plan

• Site title: Kinder Kraze
  
  
• Developer: Tiffany Stubblefield
  
• Rational or Focus: The goal for my site is to provide all the information my student's parents need regarding my class in one resource that they can access anywhere at anytime.  I would like to basically include all the information parents would receive about the class when attending a back to school night or meet the teacher night.  I would also like my parents to be able to view the site and see what we are focusing on in class, what we will be doing next, important dates/events, and strategies/resources they can use at home to reinforce what their child is learning at school.
  
• Main features outline:
  Main homepage/welcome page
    - weekly newsletter
    -announcements
    -what we are learning this week
  
• Content: 
  -Homepage/welcome page
        Sub topics/web pages
      -about me
      -classroom expectations/behavior system (classroom management)
      -homework procedures
      -Year at a glance
      -upcoming dates/events
      -resources
      -kinder standards
    
• Target audience :The directed audience of the site is the parents of my students. I would like the site to be a resource for the parents and allow for me to ensure they have up to date information about my class and their child's eduction.
  
• Design considerations: 
  -I would like the site to be very user friendly
  -I would like to have a main "welcome" page and then tabs along to the top for my various pages within my site
  -layout/format to be accessible via computer, tablet, smartphone
  -colorful and creative (like kindergarten is!)
  -kindergarten focuses on seasons and holidays, I would like to change the main "welcome" page depending on the season/holiday.
  -my classroom theme this year is Pete the Cat, I would like my site design to go along with that theme as well.
  
• Limiting factors:
  -I am new to creating web sites and using HTML code
  -I am not sure how to add interactive elements to my site
  -I want to have many different elements to my site, but I am worried I might be taking on too much for my first site
