After discussing the structures of a website in class, I learned that due to my audience the best structures would be either linear (with nodes) or an outline. My website is going to be targeted towards parents and teachers, whom may not be completely comfortable with technology. Also, they may want to find specific information fast and in a way that is convinient for them. I think it is important for me to allow my audience to allows know their way back and forth throughout the website and be able to use the website for information in a way that benefits them.
I have limited my choices from chapter 6 & 7 to the following structures and elements. In Blog 11, I mentioned that I wanted there to be categories and links relevant to that category, regarding my audience. For example, a section for parents, teachers, and ect. I also want other sections that deal with all three audiences. When clicking on a link, I still want the user to be in the same window, with the option of going home, or clicking on another navigation link.
Structures:
Linear (with nodes)
Outline
Hub and Wheel
Elements:
-Navigation Bar
-Search Engine
-Forward/backward, up/down, previous/next
-Table of Contents
