Week 9
Project Prototype : Part 1
I took quite a bit of time to decide how to present my project prototype. Since I am creating a website, I was not sure how to best represent my project. I knew that it would be different from a storyboard format, since I was not creating a video and it would not have a linear format. I considered creating a series of flow charts, but I felt that that would constrict the information I wanted to share. I finally settled on using PowerPoint to create a series of pages that represent each page of my website. I also took advantage of the hyperlink feature of PowerPoint by creating links to the corresponding pages within the presentation. I like this format best because it most closely resembles the essence of the final product. My first submission of my prototype is simply a framework and generally represents the format of the website and the major topics for each web page. Next week, I plan on meeting with the SME’s at my school site (the other kindergarten teachers) to gather their input regarding the specific content. The project prototype that I will submit next week will contain the specific content that will be on the final product.

Kristina, that is a very creative digital story board. As long as I followed the links, it worked really well. I clicked on the page a couple of times and it jumped a slide, but once I figured it out, I could very easily see the flow of your prototype. Well done, I think your prototype will translate to an online tool very easily.

Hey Kristina…
Took a look at your PowerPoint. It looks good so far. I’m interested to see what the final product is going to look like. Maybe I can use it for my little one too! Are you taking 605 over the summer?

That is a really neat way to use PowerPoint! I didn’t know it could do that. You have a good format. I agree with bill – this should easily transfer to a web site.
Nice work as usual
