Creating a website was a completely new skill that I had to discover. It took me a while to get the hang of it but once I found out how the tools worked it went smoothly. I used design principles when adding images and website URL's to help my website run smoothly throughout the entire process. I enjoyed this assignment but there were some tasks that were difficult to complete such as inserting a calendar that wasn't my personal calendar.

In my classroom I could implement QR codes in a various amount of ways including, tests, activities and surveys. I could ask my students to scan a QR code and decide what activity they would like to complete first. I could also set up multiple QR codes around my classroom and have the students travel around the room completing each task from each QR code. This can be done in pairs along with individually. I can also use QR codes to have them select which reward they would be most interested in having to decide how I can reward them when they are well-behaved. 

The teaching and learning process is considered to be started at the establishment of human civilization. In the early days, the Gurukul system of teaching was popular in Nepal. Gurukul is an educational system in which one is educated under the full guidance of a guru or teacher. The main aim of the Gurukul education system was to transform ethics, discipline, cultural values, and behaviors concerning religion through the teachers' role models. Religious and spiritual knowledge and real-life practice were the main parts of the study (Paudel, 2021). Gradually, changes have been made in the overall education system concerning the need and interests of the nation and itscitizen. In the present context, the process of teaching and learning has been accelerated due to the prevailing context, innovations in subject matter, and modern technology (Kunwar et al., 2022). It is a difficult job in an open inquiry environment the teacher requires a variety of proficiency skills (Milin Sipus et al., 2022). The emergent use of information communication technology (ICT) has also transformed the whole education system. It has been changing society gradually from analogous systems to digital technology (Martin, 2020). It is also connecting globally and leading to transform the entire system, and the process of digitalization has also been inspiring to transform everything in the world (Schwab & Davis, 2018). The digital revolution has made human life easier, faster, and more independent (Bello et al., 2021), however, it has also been separating people from physical contact and characterizing them as more mechanical or instrumental (Khanal et al., 2022; Kunwar et al., 2022). This digital evolution has been compelling people to disconnect from the real world into the virtual world. Online teaching and learning refer to interactive activities for instance student-teacher interaction, student-student interaction, student-content interaction, and studenttechnology interaction to provide meaningful learning experiences for students through the online system (Turley & Graham, 2019). It is a pedagogical modification in knowledge transformation with the help of digital technology. In the area of education, the advancement of technology has been seen reflected in the execution of ICT (Hernández et al., 2016), which directly affects the plans of training and instructional processes in the different stages of education (Moreno-Guerrero et al., 2020). All such innovations lead to new and better learning experiences, by means of creating new spaces in which they perform teaching practices (Li et al., 2019). Society is moving toward the utilization of technology in their daily life (Garzón et al., 2020). The use of technology in society has transformed into a new phase in the life of all human beings (Khanal et al., 2022). Various aspects of human activity for instance work, society, and education have been changed due to infrastructural development and technological support (López-Belmonte et al., 2020; Moreno-Guerrero et al., 2021).

In my opinion, I would address this case in a way that would implement new teaching methods. This could include transforming the class into a partially synchronous class. Students could attend the class in person or online when needed. I would also include resources that would help better encourage the students. These resources may include, tutoring, counseling and advising meetings. I believe that it is an ethical solution to implement these resources that way the students feel supported throughout their education. As technology continues to develop, this will have a beneficial impact on students learning.

  1. Your website looks great! I love the header images you chose for your website. Overall, it seems that you adhered to the CRAP principles fairly well. The contrast on your website is mostly fine, but I think the white pictures/icons of the light blue background are perhaps too much contrast and it just looks kind of off. The repetition, alignment, and proximity all look great and are consistent across the various pages. Wonderful job!

  2. I loved review your website! The design principles that you incorporated were used beautifully and mets the expectations. The CRAP principles were easy to spot out and check off. The only design issue I would bring up is that sometimes the text did not blend well with the pictures. That was my only issue that I picked up. Great job!

  3. Hi Emma! I loved looking over your website. The color scheme looked great and it seemed like you adhered pretty well to the CRAP principles. The only thing I really spotted was that there were a few pictures that looked kind of blurry, which could just be a me issue, and that the white squared behind the icons made them look a little out of place. Other than that, it looks awesome. Great job!!

  4. Hello Emma! I think your website is a great example of CRAP principles. The overall design of your website is pleasing to the eye. I think your About Me section specifically is super cute. Great job!

  5. I think you followed the CRAP principles really well! I would suggest maybe using some brighter colors to make certain sections pop out more. It might also help to replace some of the pictures that have text over them with just a blank colored background to make it easier to read. Other than that, great design overall!
