Blog #11 - Website Users

For my website idea, I was thinking of researching and writing about why Americans have such a fascination with celebrity but I think I might change it to a site about the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards (still unsure):

Questions from page 19:
1. Who will use this site?
Those interested in acquiring knowledge of the NJCCCS and why they are important. I think the main users will be teachers, future teachers & college students, and parents.

2. Where are they?
The users of the site will obviously be computer literate and able to maneuver a web site. They will most likely be behind computer screens at home, in school, at an office, or on a laptop.

3. What do they want from the site?
The site will provide information on the NJCCCS so those who are going to use the site will be looking to either gain or further their knowledge on the standards.

4. How does the site address the users?
I was thinking of blocking the site off into sections. The first section will be background information on the NJCCCS and why they are useful. The second section will breakdown the standards so they are easily understood. The third section will be for teachers and it will have helpful tips/sites that will be useful for them so they can abide by the standards in their classroom.

5. How do the graphics of the site address the users?
I will try to make the site very vibrant to attract the readers attention. I will also try to use images related to the subjects

-AUDIENCE: The site will be designed for teachers, parents, and future teachers/college students.
-PURPOSE: To give insightful information regarding the NJCCCS and why they are useful.
-FOCUS: I wanted to focus on the standards because, as a future teacher, I believe it is important for everyone to understand the standards because they encompass a large portion of NJ public education.
-FINAL TOUCH: I am hoping to make the site very vibrant and user friendly. I am also looking to have separate charts/sub pages related to the material.
