• The website I chose to critique is Once Wed a blog style site about creative and unique weddings. The website has a very simple and assethitcally pleasing design. The colors are muted and consistent. The layout is simple with all links on the top bar, posts with images to the left and advertisements and links to wedding photographers, jewelers, designers, etc. This layout is consistent with every link that you follow. The font and colors are attractive and simple. The links always remain at the top so it's easy to navigate back and forth through the pages.
  
• Some of the biggest advantages of using presentation software would be creating a more diverse learning experience; making it visual as well as auditory.

• Power point helps both the teacher and student stay on track with what is being discussed. A power point with bullet points can help a student in keeping track and taking notes on a more complicated lesson. With power point you can also go back to older slides in case there was anything your student needed to see again. If you were teaching a lesson on the Civil war you could use a chart on power point to demonstrate time line or to link people with events. This gives the students something visual to help the information to stick.
