Pupil's website

After my last blog post, the Teachers' website has been finished. I am really pleased with the outcome! There have been a couple of tweaks that I gave as feedback and these have been fixed by Andrew accordingly. These were very small and concerned the layout rather than content, as with all of the promotional methods so far.


Looking again at the Teachers website I may ask for Andrew to add some white into the composition as this would match the inspiration more clearly, rather than look just similar as it does at the moment. I will think about this.


Since Wednesday and due to Andrew finishing the Teachers website, I have been planning the Pupil's website...designing the layouts and content from inspirational websites that both children have told me they use (within the primary research interviews) and Disney's Mickey's Clubhouse microsite which has the clearest resemblance (through Disney) to my scheme, as Disney Educational Productions do not have a website for its Pupils, just the main website for Educators to buy products and resources from.


The planning took more time than I expected due to the inclusion of a Browser App. I have decided this will be provided by Google Chrome and will allow Teachers to view their class's performance on any device as well as the Performance section of the Teachers website and will allow children to play a game on the App also. This can be downloaded for free from Google Chrome (to stay in keeping with the core values of the scheme). However, this does mean that children who are not undertaking the scheme can play the game also (which defers from the idea of targeting selected areas within England) but having an App is market relevant and technology and gaming is moving in this direction. 


Overall, I have sent all the information to Andrew so he can get started as soon as possible on the Pupil's website. This is the last promotional method to be made, so Andrew and I are on track and the visuals will be given to me about 4 days before the presentations to industry. 


It is an exciting time!


For the rest of today, I am going to work through my annotations that need doing, as I am currently printing and making mental notes, however these need to be written down for the examiners to know my directions! I am also going to develop my report a little and do some background reading.


My plans for the weekend:

1. Finish the customer profile boards!
2. Make my campaign plan - (I keep adding little promotional methods, so I need to sit down with lots of Post It notes and plan it out properly! and then re-create on a board)
3. Develop my report
4. Continue background reading
