Activity 2

1) A dancers Journal- I would be interested in creating this. I would make several changes. First off i would add more color to it. I would also add a few more pictures to make it look more interesting. It would be better to add a different background that has to do with dancing. These are a few things i would change.


2) Lunar phases- I would be interested in creating this page. What i would do differently is to add bright colors to make it stand out more. Another thing i would do is to make the moons rotate so there could be some movement. It would also be better to have sun flames going towards the moon to look more interesting instead of just having likes that show the directiong of the sun.


3) Destination: international space station- international space station is something I would also be interested in creating. A few things can be changed like the background on this site. It would also be a better idea if more pictures were added that have to do with space and a space station. I would add a different music to make it sound more appealing.


4)Art Games- This is another thing i would be interested in creating. What i would do differently is to add more animation to this site to make it more entertaining for the kids who go on this site. More color can be added and characters to this page. Another thing i would do differently is to add some music to the background to make it sound exciting. It would be a good idea to add a bright color to the background to make it look really entertaining.


5)Thumb piano tools- This is something i would also be interested in creating. One thing that would be better for this is to add piano music to the background to make it sound like a piano page. What i would do differently is to add a piano being played by a person. It would also be a better idea to make some animation and make a person talk about it instead of just writing on the page. These are some things i would do different to make it look more interesting.
