GC409 – Learning Products – Making a Web Page Wireframe Memory Tool
GC409-S3 – Web Wireframe Memory Tool – No Web Design Experience Required. Deep learning and long-term retention require consolidation and reorganization of thinking. After determining the lesson topic to be addressed, Alexa or Instructor will guide students, individually, with a partner, or a small group, to generate a website planning sheet and wireframe (webpage layout sketch) to reorganize and display the key points, facts and details of the lesson to a prospective online audience. A website wireframe is a page schematic or blueprint that can serve as a visual guide to create the skeletal framework of a website. It can also be used as a personal study tool.

Key points or keywords, related to the topic, will be posted on 4 x 6 cards using markers or a computer. A shape related to your subject can be used, such as car shapes for an auto mechanic related mobile. Next, students will determine an object, related to the subject, to serve as a base for your mobile, such as a toy stethoscope for a health mobile.
