Advantages of using the Web (versus other channel)
- This is an inexpensive way of providing information for both parents and employees alike. This audience can be directed to this site instead of distributing many sheets of paper.
How would your change the site?
- This site is not busy, but there are two things I would change. One would to continually update this site. The second would be to make more use of the space on the right of the screen. It is a vast amount of space and it feels as if the text was squished into one area.
Discuss how the website you are reviewing is related to yours. Identify similarities and differences. How will yours be better?
- The similarity between my site and LAUSD is the fact we want to promote the services we offer to both parents and employees. The difference is that my site will have a more personal feeling by allowing my audience a glimpse into this department by the use of graphics, not just text. Since privacy is a concern, I will not include the full last names of the employees, just an initial.
