So who is my audience? So directly my audience are teachers. But I chose not to set this site up like one teacher teaching his peers, because really as I have learned there is a gap that those with the knowledge may not see or even understand. So to bridge the gap I am going to teach or set it up as someone who does not have the knowledge on how to use the products. I mean really that only makes since. If I want to use a product/site and it confuses me when I go to try and use it I will not use it which that is the exact opposite of this whole program.
I am going to say that indirectly my audience are my students or actually any students or if we dial it back even more anyone who is in need of this knowledge. I could see my students using this site as well as my principal all the way up to my mom who has a hard time with text messages. So I have to keep my mother in mind when making this site. So in short who is my audience? My mom!
Informational text on your Initial Analysis and Prototyping. Be sure to describe your audience and their needs.
Above are prototype drawings for this site.
My logo is a combination of what my driving question morphed into. Does the infusion of technology with strategic design increase student comprehension? The king chess piece represents strategic design. Chess is a strategic game. The green and notebook with the A in it are what we are striving for with education. Techmate is a play on the chess reference for checkmate meaning you conquered and that is what I want my audience to understand how I feel about technology. I want them to have confidence in my words/work. Mate is for friend and it also plays into the relationship of confidence I want to have with my audience and students.
