Expanding FaceBook to reach millions of classrooms worldwide, my site will connect students through multimedia platforms in order to share information about world culture, history, and current events. Online networking will empower children through personal expression and foster a love of learning, a competency in technology, and tolerance for people around the world.Since the users are students who may or may not have a lot of experience with computers, the site will be simple, visually clean and easy to navigate. Inspired by the earth itself, the color scheme will be mostly white with monochromed ocean blue. There will also be earth-green highlights. Ocean blue is a primary color, basic and soothing, which I hope will focus but not distract the user from the site's content.
Teachers will facilitate student learning by connecting classrooms around the world to collaborate on lesson plans and exchange information. Students will create individual profiles about themselves, then link their pages to other students in their classroom. Based on the class curricula, teachers will find classrooms around the world to collaborating in the learning experience. Soon, classrooms around the world will form educational networks to share text, picture, and video-based emails that are focused around the academic goal. Like other online networking sites, communities grow virally and classrooms expand worldwide.
The menu bar at the top of the site will host 5 main options: HOME, MY WORLD, CONNECT, SEARCH, and HELP. When one scrolls over each of the main options, a sub-menu will slide down with further options:
HOME: Login, News, About, Register
MY WORLD: My Profile, My Class, My Networks, My Videos, My Pictures
CONNECT: Email, Video, Pictures
SEARCH: Person, Class, School, Country, Subject
HELP: Tutorial, Lesson suggestions
