Assignment 14.2

In this model, I designed my lesson plan website, and I felt proud of myself when I finished it because I hadn't made a website before, and this is first study. In the design process, I consider how to chose an appropriate model for my website, and how to meet the criteria of good educational website. I had to admit that I made some mistake at the beginning because I was so excited to created my website and forgot it is for students, I used garish  background and font colors, but I realized I was wrong when I saw the example of lesson plan website. Thus, I reconsidered my website design,  reduced some unnecessary decorations, and placed related graphics near to the texts. I tried to limit content on each page to full screen to minimize scrolling, but some content that I think is necessary to let students to know is still long. I tried to add some picture to break the long text so they don't fill the entire width of scree, and I hope that works.

I tried to add a discussion part into my website because I hope them could have a online discuss and post their work, but I didn't find it in website frame option. Unfortunately, I gave up that idea, but I hope to learn how to build a website by writing coding, so I could add that part.

Here is my lesson plan website: Metamorphous Painting  Hope you like it! :D

Assignment 13.2

This model, I learnt to make my curriculum lesson plan and integrate technological tool in my lesson plan. Combine with the knowledge that I had learnt in this class so far, I chose abstract formalism as my core curriculum concept and teacher students metamorphosis painting to understand the formalism. Also, I focus on Piet Mondrian's artwork and the changing. This video will be a perfect example: 

I tried to write my curriculum lesson plan in standard format and combine with multiple intelligence-types, so I will use PowerPoint, videos, and group discussion to encourage students participate in the class. I hope I could interpret abstract formalism as clear as possible.There are three principles of web design: clear navigation, appropriate size and quality mater, and aesthetics. I need keep those in my mind to make a good website for teaching.
