 This website is cheerful and bright, perfect for the subject matter. Hangout is a music festival held on the beach in May, so it is important for the website to convey happiness and fun times with friends. The simple style is perfect for this site, and it gets the message across quickly. Everything one needs to know about this festival is at the top of the page. Tickets, lineup, and transportation information. The colors in this website are exactly the colors you would expect to see at the beach. Bright, happy colors including blue, yellow, and purple. It has great contrast. There are pictures of previous years at the festival, which really convey how much fun this festival is, and how wonderful the atmosphere is. The font used is very different and bold, that makes it stand out from the background and catch your eye. Overall, this is a great layout. It speaks to the target audience by its choice of color, images, and layout.

The Americans with Disabilities Act is a law that makes it illegal to discriminate against anyone on basis of disability. Adaptive technologies are technologies that help people with disabilities more effectively use computing equipment. People with disabilities require different input and output devices in order to use a computer. For example, one can use voice recognition software to replace typing input into the keyboard. Text-to-speech software will read text aloud for users that are vision impaired. The biggest challenge in implementing these adaptive technologies is the number of students each with individual disabilities. As a teacher I will have to cater to the needs of each student individually, and make sure they have access to the same materials as every other student in the classroom.

This site made me realize how easy building a website can be. Weebly made it really simple to add and edit the websites content. It was easy to choose a layout and organize all of my pages. I think I would definitely use Weebly as a teacher. This website is a great platform for a class website, it allows me to publish all necessary information for a class. It allows me to insert links, embed calendars, and edit content with ease. I could improve my website in a real classroom situation because I would have real content.
