Home Page Design

This was my initial idea for what the home page of Brandon's website should look like (minus the text notes to myself).  I'm sure it will change radically as I move along, but at the very least it allowed me to begin creating a basic website structure and start programming.  It will also allow my instructor to better determine if I'm on the right track.

School of One is focused on offering each student a personalized education.  However, since their model is based on an algorithm, from what I've seen, students spend most of their day at a computer.  That's an idea I can't get on board with.  On the other hand, the philosophies and practices at High Tech High   seem to match well the ideas I've had, including giving students the chance to explore their own personal interests through projects.  I will definitely be doing some more looking into this option! If others have failed in solving this problem, why did they fail?
