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.
