Hey Emma,
ReplyDeleteYour blog is great! I love how everything flows together and complements eachother. The only improvement I would suggest is adding a tab at the top of the page to sort the information for easier reading for the learners! Overall, it is looks fabulous!
Emma, You have great information! I really like how you color code and underline the important headlines and take away points. It is very user friendly. One suggestion I would make would be to have prevention listed before risk factors and the videos. After all an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure :) Great job!
ReplyDeleteEmma, I thought you did a great job on your blog! The information was great and very user friendly. I liked the animations too. One thing you could maybe add would be some statistical information. Great job!
ReplyDeleteEmma,
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I like how organized everything is. I like the prevention portion, because we all know how important prevention is in nursing! Maybe you could try an introduction at the top telling a little about the blog or some tabs! Overall, awesome job!

I like how you have you page set up. It is very organized and includes a lot of easy to follow information about heat disease. Something that could be useful is maybe adding how healthy stress management can be also beneficial.
ReplyDeleteI think you did a great job of defining complex information into simpler terms. I really like your videos as well, as I think it adds to what you have already explained. In the section when you talk about healthy lifestyles, it would be nice to have some examples of say moderate exercise and what is too much alcohol etc. Overall great job!
