year 13 web

I am looking at moving the year 13 course to a course that more looks at web 2.0 tools and developments. Students need to look at these things a little bit more to find out where things have come from, most students don't realise where we have come from and are unable to reflect on a sites design and audience to well.

So I am looking at a number of modules that have been developed and using the guiding questions in each for the students to reflect on at the end of each lesson.

Introduction to Web Design Using Microsoft® Expression® Studio 4: Module 3 Designing for Communication

Students struggle with designing for communication, yes they can design a webpage, but what does it communicate.

Introduction to Web Design Using Microsoft® Expression® Studio 4: Module 6 The Design Process

The design process, students need to understand where this fits in and what is required in their own work

Introduction to Web Design Using Microsoft® Expression® Studio 4: Module 7 The Production Process

As normal, design and production almost go hand in hand, so these will go together quite well.

Introduction to Web Design Using Microsoft® Expression® Studio 4: Module 8 Web Publishing and Maintenance

The last module is one that students never think about at all until that last moment when they go to hand it in, who will look after it, how will they look after it. Maintenance is now more important than actual design, it is also something that people forget in our organsiation as well whenever I look at our own school website. It is a place to communicate with your target audience.

There is one other course that I am looking at this year, which is financial literacy, it is something that I am having to do...
