Who? Page

The previous idea was to do a page on 'Different Types of Technology Page' but instead this page will now be labelled 'Who?' This will include inventions and who made them and the year, such as mobile phones and televisions. I decided on doing this as when Researching Continents, I came across these facts so have decided to do a separate page on Inventors. The page will be titled, 'Who?' as I don't want to put a long title as I want my audience to click on it.

Quiz Page

Instead of having 'The History of Technology' page in place I will have a quiz page which will test my target audience on my website facts. From looking at other educational websites, a 'Quiz' page is important as it encourages children to pay more attention and they will find it rewarding.

Image included on my 'Quiz' page:

I have used the website: http://www.quizbox.com/ to design my quiz.
The  Quiz will be multiple choice incase some of the questions are too hard. It is hard writing for a target audience of 10 to 15 year olds.

Title: The Global Vision

What the website is lacking so far is a title header for the website. 

The chosen title is:
The Global Vision

Global= in relation to the Global Village to put that into my website title.

Vision= the whole point of the website is for my target audience to see where each part of the world currently stands.

To make the website header I have used Photoshop. The font was chosen firstly and then given a black background. As my website is colourful I wanted something bold and simple so it wouldn't clash.

Making the banner the right size was an obstacle as I didn't want it to be bigger than my navigation bar. 

My name has also been incorporated into the header as it needed something in the spare space of the title.

Key points to add to my website on Africa's placing in the Global Village

-The least developed continent.

-Between 1970-1990's poverty began in Africa.

-One of the most highly intellectual races, meaning a lot of them have moved to Europe and Asia to be recognised.

-In African families, the most successful is expected to look after the rest.

-The global village is led by U.S.A, Europe, Canada and Japan leaving out Africa and Asia as they are not viewed of any position in the Global Village.

-The Western World excludes Africa in the Global Village due to their relations because of slavery.

Images to add to my homepage

In order for my website to connect with my audience I am going to add images of technology they are familiar with on my homepage. As technology is something that children are interested in and engage in, in our current society.

I want to keep my homepage simple and with lots of images as my target audience will be better suited to imagery. I don't want to scare them with lots of writing on my opening page as they click around my site thats when they have the option to read. I will include facts on the 'Global Village' on several pages and teach them what we mean by the world being a 'Global Village.' I want my homepage to be fun, bright and simple.
