Goal - Communication
Design - simple but target audience
- Color - may be determined by your district but be sure you follow a few guidle lines
- Watch combinations -- no blue on red or red one blue
- High contrast between text and background
- KISS - keep is simple silly
- Leave the fancy stuff to computer science students - you teach, therefore you communicate
- Plan, Plan Plan and then follow your plan. Storyboards help - Inspiration can be used to storyboard
- What do you want to communicate, to whom, why
- Keep it current - nothing worse than old web info
