https://search.collegedegrees.com/forms/university-of-phoenix/publisher/collegecrunch The University of Phoenix was a little difficult to be able to look at the education department. The main reason is because you have to answer so many questions before you can even look at the education department. Which in my opinion is a waste of time if you are only trying to look and see if you are interested in that department of that college. http://www.coe.uga.edu/ The University of Georgia was a great website to visit for an education major. It was easy to find where you wanted to go and had plenty of information. The information that they provided was very clear and easy to understand. It also had different sections of education that you may want to go to and look at if that is the department you are majoring in. Also, it told you everything, such as classes, that you needed for that major before you could actually start the block.

OVERALL PURPOSE

The purpose of writing this assignment is to make a website that numerous people that are interested in the Elementary Education field, will be interested in looking at this website. My outcome that I desire is that I will lead more students to want to enroll in the Elementary Education department at the school of their choice. I would hope that the reader of this outcome would desire to make the decision of becoming an Elementary Education major.

READER PROFILE

My primary reader is for high school graduates looking for a great major to start working toward, and it could also be for people of any age just looking for another major. My relationship with the readers is that they are trusting me to lead them into the right major for them and they assume that I know about my major since I am trying to lead them into the same field as I am involved in. My reader’s job title would be a full time student or part time student with a possibility of different responsibilities. There could be a variety of people that may read my communication. The reader doesn’t have to be very familiar with the subject just as long as they know some of what they want to possibly major in. I should make sure that the website is very informational and helpful for my readers in case they may not be familiar with this major at all. I should be able to understand that my readers will have different ideas and opinions toward my major and I should be open to what they try to say. I should make sure that my website is available to anyone looking for a major in the education department.

SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS

With me being an education major I should know how to write in numerous ways since I will be trying to teach kids one day how to write also. I also should know my major up and down so that when any one asks me questions I should always have a response for them.

USABILITY OBJECTIVES (READER’S TASKS)

Some questions that the reader will ask will probably be: Why did you choose this major? Is this major for anybody? Do you have to like children to be a teacher? What qualifications do you have to have? Is this major really for me?

All of these questions should hopefully be answered throughout my website and if they are not then the reader will be able to email me anytime to ask me any questions they wish.

PERSUASIVE OBJECTIVES (READER’S ATTITUDES)

Hopefully my readers attitude will be a positive one because they are learning more and more about being an education major and I hope they have an open mind about my major and will have a very positive attitude about this field. I also hope that the reader’s attitude toward me is a positive one as well because I hope they can understand my reasoning for choosing this major and can trust my knowledge toward this major so they can become a wonderful teacher one day.

STAKEHOLDERS

The stakeholders in my communication would be any faculty that I may include in my website and any instructors that I may have had in the past that helped me throughout my major. They will all be affected in a positive way because everything that I may state about them will only be great things and they will get the credit for everything they have done.

CONSTRAINTS

One thing that can limit the way I write is that I am not an actual teacher yet so there may be a few things that I have not experienced yet that they may have questions about. So as of now I don’t have the creditability as a teacher and wont have that until I graduate with my degree so I only know things out of a student’s point of view.
