After exploring several capstone websites, I feel my capstone audience will be other teachers. I envision teachers as my audience because I hope to show the importance of teaching the skill of collaboration to build lifelong successful students. My initial research was on student achievement and engagement through PBLs, but out of that I’ve chosen to focus on collaboration as a key focus. In my content, I’ll need to show the value of collaboration with examples, videos, and supporting research. I’ll need to show how important the skill of being able to collaborate is to a student throughout their education and into the job market.
Capstone Website Reviews
Dearborn - Diving into Digital Tools
Her audience was educators, and every part of the website addressed educators. I found her logo with the diver diving into the computer to be effective, but initially, without reading the catch phrase underneath it, I thought it was diving into technology. I appreciated her video. I thought it really tied everything together and summed everything up well.
Gottfried - School Blogs
I was drawn to her logo. I loved the colors she used and the design in general was appealing to me. Her logo absolutely related to her content as her focus is on the use of student blogging. Teachers, colleagues, educators are her audience and I found her site to be very effective in relating her ideas. Her site was easy to follow and user friendly.
Vale - Classroom Community
The audience for this website is elementary teachers. She’s trying to inspire teachers to consider and connect to all of their students by creating a safe learning environment. While I think it’s a fabulous idea and completely agree, I think her logo could be stronger. To me the logo ‘classroom community’ implies the student relationships and not just the teacher’s relationship with each student.
