Week 10 - Web Design Continued

As I imagined...I forgot how the heck to get anything done in dreamweaver. Luckily, Denvy was available to give a few of us a mini review. I made another good dent on the creation of my pretend class website, which I'm actually kind of enjoying. Although it's a bit complicated, I'm surprised at myself and proud at how I'm moving along with my pages. I don't know that I'll remember all this in the future but it's a good start towards creating my very first website. I would like to have a classroom website in the future; however, it will depend on the SES of my students as to whether they will have access or not. Now that I have created my own website, I won't feel as intimidated when I create the real thing.

Week 9 - No Class

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Week 8 - Website Design

We learned about some free online programs for creating a website, which seem pretty easy to use. I explored lifeyo.com, and it seemed user friendly. We also learned how to create a website with html in dreamweaver. Now this one seemed overwhelming, and I was afraid I would forget the steps on how to get things done. Surprisingly I got a good start to my website without too much difficulty, but we'll see how it goes after the Thanksgiving holiday. I think it's pretty cool that we can create our own sites on dreamweaver; however, I wonder how many schools would actually have the program available. I also wonder how much input a school has on a teacher's webpage, if any. I like the idea of having a classroom website for getting information out to students and parents. It's a good resource for them to use, if they have a computer with internet access. Since not all schools will have the dreamweaver program, it's good that we explored the internet to make use out of the free sites out there that let you create your own website. I haven't explored with google, but I hear that is an option as well.
