Website Layout-ing/Organizing

1. Briefly describe what you PERSONALLY accomplished today.

My main focus for the day was to create the main logical layout of our to-be-created website. I essentially mapped out which sections (main links) the website should have, the different pages under those links, and the general content that each page should have. For example, I decided that our website should have a general link titled, "Wetland Info", and under that link there is general information about what wetlands are, then it gives links to different pages that provide more detailed information (types of wetlands, a glossary of different species of animals/plants, etc.) All of this information is organized in an outline that I created on excel. Below is a screenshot of the outline.

I am not completely finished with creating the outline, because I plan on making it more detailed once we begin actually creating the website itself. In addition I plan to continue working on the outline and conceiving a 'concept' or initial design for the website.

2. Briefly describe what your TEAMMATE(S) accomplished today:

Before we even began to work, we as a group created a To-Do list of what each member's goals of the day were going to be and what they are going to work on. Today, both Emily and Chelsea focused on research. Specifically, Emily conducted research on some of the chemistry aspects and mainly general information about wetlands, the different species, and their economical benefits. Chelsea basically researched the benefits of wetlands and the different hazards that threaten them. She also worked on different ideas of trying to modify our model stormwater wetland, which is vital when we edit our proposal.

3. Briefly describe how you and your partner(s) ASSISTED each other today:

From the very beginning we helped each other out, by giving suggestions of what we all should accomplish today and what path we should go on in the future. Through Emily's research she is and will be able to become an "expert" on wetlands and share her knowledge to both Chelsea and I. Chelsea assisted us by coming up with new innovative ideas for changing our model, ideas which we weren't able to think of before. I helped my group members with the direction they were going, and they helped me by giving me suggestions on how to organize our future website.
