Mylearningtools.org Meeting #1: Website Comments

Delaney Mutchler, September 30, 2018

1. HOME

• The page is both accessible via laptop and smartphone.

– Clear, concise, well-organized, links provided

– Would recommend a phone application in future for even easier access

– “Mindfulness” games on website/app

• Phone # can be directly called when clicked on (smartphone)

• This cannot be done w/ email. Email should include direct link to open new message (laptop and smartphone) so user doesn’t have to copy & paste.

• Formatting needs to be fixed

• Ex. THE BEST SOLUTION- “TO CULTIVATING MENTALLY INTELLIGENT, RESILIENT YOUNG MINDS”- “Our program will mold self-perspective on emotions, as well as one’s perspective on others’ emotions.”
• More colors/graphics = more appealing/inviting

• Rotating pictures

• Stories
• Recent blog posts
• Upcoming events

2. SOCIAL MEDIA

• Provide direct links to accounts via website

• *Begin with most popular platforms (Ex. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram)
• Founders’ LinkedIns should be directly linked

• Blog

• Archive
• Someone working for co. could run blog
• Outside submissions for blog could be accepted

3. NEW LOGO 

• Circular stamp
• Combines brain & heart (like puzzle)
• Mental Strength Emotional Intelligence Education Training (top)
• RESILIENCE (bottom)
• Website name (Mylearningtools.org) under picture in center of stamp
• Contact number and email under website name

4. WHY

• “The Problems”

• Stats and links relevant to “The Problems”

• School shooting: Everytownresearch.org (63 incidents of gunfire on school grounds in 2018; violence ties to drug use and mental health issues)
• Suicide: afsp.org
• Depression: adaa.org, mentalhealthamerica.net
• Opioids: www.hhs.gov/opioids/about-the-epidemic
• Domestic Abuse: ncadv.org/statistics

• “The Solutions”

• Elaborate more on this section

• “Mental education/training”: What do we provide?
• “System for achieving goals”: What is our system? (Ex. courses offered, in-school practices/procedures, workshops, events, etc.)

5. BENEFITS OF M.E.E.T. 

• Move from “Why” to “What’s M.E.E.T.”
• I like that this page sets a positive tone
• Great content, but needs to be much more concise/better organized
• Needs bullet points

6. CONTENT TOPICS

• Would change this tab to be called “Who”
• Split up K-12 content

• Great content, but needs to be more concise, better organized, reformatted/bulleted
• K-5^th (Elementary), 6^th-8^th (Middle), 9^th-12^th (High)
• Or split up by age groups mentioned in text

• Move “K-12,” “Young Adults,” and “Professionals” from “What’s M.E.E.T.” to “Who”
• Engr Ashraful’s articles “Setting Goals” and “Being Present” should be moved to a blogpost archive

7. OUR TEAM

• Needs profiles w/ personal info and accompanying picture
• Personal statements about why company was started

8. CONTACT 

• Well-formatted

9. MISC.
