Natural Health - Good Versus Bad Website

        When looking at good and bad websites there are a few things to consider. The aesthetic of the website is very important, and first impressions do matter. This is true with websites. If I see two different websites next to each other, the one I am more drawn to is more likely the one that I will want to look at. But a good website is much more than just appearances. A good website must offer what it says it offers as well. Beyond looks, functionality is very important for a good website. If there are glitches and a lack of information or options, a person is more likely to search for what they are looking for elsewhere. 

        An example of this would be the following websites for natural health products. A good website example is Thrive Market (thrivemarket.com). A bad website example is H & Natural (https://www.gosupps.com/health-supps-brands/h-natural.html). These two websites are very different when you compare them in terms of both aesthetics as well as functionality. Thrive Market is very aesthetically pleasing as well as very functional. When looking at this website it is beautiful and very well made. This website is also very clear and has a lot of options for natural health products. On the other hand, H & Natural is not very aesthetically pleasing, and not as functional as Thrive Market. This website is less captivating and comes off as plain and lacking in direction and clearness. There is also a much more limited inventory on H & Natural. Looking at these things the choice is clear when deciding which website to use. This is why Thrive Market is extremely successful and known, and H & Natural is not. 

Here is a view of the websites to better understand:

Duolingo

  Duolingo is an application that I have used myself and has taught me a lot quickly. I plan on using this application more and gaining more knowledge to better apply myself in the Spanish language as it is very valuable in my job and in life in general. There are many things you can do with the Duolingo Application including practicing saying different words in other languages. You can also practice identifying the meaning of words in another language. You can practice spelling and forming sentences as well in whatever language you choose to practice.  Something I love about Duolingo is that you can set up goals and times you want to spend on learning a new language. Set your own pace and Duolingo will remind you of your practice so you do not forget to hop on and practice for the day. Also it helps that the visuals are just adorable. There is a lot to learn if this application is used and practice continues. I plan on continuing using this app so that I can gain more in know...

Chapter Seven

 Chapter seven is called Sustaining the Momentum. A quote that stuck out from this chapter is, "What if you work and prepare, but nobody shows up for your network? Or worse, people show up, look around, decide it isn't worth their time, and leave!" This is a legitimate feeling that people have when creating a learning network. It is a fear that all the work you put in will be for nothing. But a lot of good things come from someone taking that chance. Putting in the work and taking care of your creation is vital to its growth. A learning network takes care and time to grow, like a garden. In appreciative inquiry members work from a what if? and strengths perspective rather than focusing on what needs help. Within appreciative inquiry, there are some assumptions and principals. The assumptions include but are not limited to: recognizing differences is of value, what you focus on becomes your reality, and language creates reality. The principals include: what we concentrate ...

Chapter Five

            In chapter five we talk about using tools to support connected learning. It goes on to express the importance of bookmarking and archiving as tools in this. It mentions tools such as Delicious and Diigo for these purposes. In this chapter they mention that in the early days of the web one may have used bookmarking through the web browser. This is quite funny to me because I still use this resource. It is mostly how I keep track of important websites and other things that I do not want to lose track of. I wonder where I have been to not know about these new ways of documenting. This chapter was honestly eye-opening to me and informative in things I was not aware of.           The next thing chapter five talks about is the tools for connecting. These include various things such as blogs, podcasts, wiki websites, and more. This chapter also talks about social networking for educators as well as tools for ext...
