Reflection The assignment over the past few weeks has been enjoyable and rewarding. Through thoughtful collaboration with my team members we were able to envision the end product and bring a useable website to life. I've learned much more from this assignment than merely a certain set of skills or how to create a website. I've learned that when teachers come together to truly collaborate they can be successful for a common purpose of meeting student's, teacher's, and parent's needs. Using the C.R.A.P. design principles we were able to create a visually pleasing design they had commonality and an easy flow. Through this collaboration we were able to create a concept for our logo design. I used our brainstorming sessions on our chats and collaboration document to create a logo that encompassed our vision. I feel that having this background experience helped to guide the creation of the logo. Having the new knowledge of C.R.A.P principles has helped me beyond this assignment. I have started to incorporate these principles into my everyday activities when creating things for parents, graphics for lessons, and my own private company. I used the web to search for topics to cover my portion of the website design. I found a plethora of information that I condensed down to cover some of the basic parts of computer ethics. I feel that evaluating the information as I selected the content of my page was an important part of making it informative. I learn best when challenged to explore new concepts. I was able to use new web tools, learn how they work by trying them, find out what they could do, and imagine how I could use these in the classroom. I believe that using the skills obtained through the collaboration, preparation, and completion of this project will be beneficial in future endeavors.
