14. Designing the Front End What the world sees Questions to ask yourself: 1. What organization does my set of classes lend itself to? 2. Do I want all of my lesson plans on my page? Just the assignments? Both? a. How much of my materials and plans are already digital? [CamScanner App for smart phones] 3. What’s my level of technological patience and savvy?

15. 1. Using a “Links Page” vs FlexpageLinks PageFlexpage 2. Using a “File Library” type page [and why I don’t] Crazy Animal Section of Flex page Crazy Animal Section of Flex page vs Crazy Animal File LibraryCrazy Animal File Library 3. Using an “Assignments” type page – SraAaron’s page and Mrs.Howington’s pageSraAaron’s page Mrs.Howington’s page 4. Using a Separate Blank “Flex” Page for each class/level 4A. Link to a PDF of your lesson plans Pros – easy if you already have your plans typed out, easier to control formatting, easy to see whole year at once, easy for kids to print Cons – harder create links to worksheets and handouts 4B. Type/copy your plans on the page itself – Pros – easier to link to worksheets your kids can print Cons – extra step of copy-pasting from your plans into the webpage, takes up more space visually on the page Considerations – Do you want most recent assignments on top or on the bottom? Do you want them to have to scroll all the way down? 5. Using the Calendar Page for All Classes at Once – Hustwit’s pageHustwit’s page Pros- everything in one place, easy to link hndts, easy to link to Eduphoria for admin Cons – lots of typing or cut-n-paste for you, lots of steps
