Practicum V

I collaborated with Sue on ideas for the district library website. We both showed each other ideas we had found from other school library web sites. Neither of us have been very impressed with what we have found so far.

We decided I should make a mockup of what our web site could potentially look like, so we at least have something to work with. Then we will revise it from there.

Sue also gave me administrative access to Destiny so I can play around with it and figure out what we want on our Destiny page.
