While designing my website, I learned the different ways to format the webpage while becoming more familiar with the platform. I also learned how a website should be structured while looking at examples of what makes a "bad" and "good" website. It took me a long time to figure out how to use the tools on Weebly and I had some issues when adding pictures since I could not move them wherever I wanted. This can help me in a future career (depending on what I decide to do for a living) by allowing me to create websites to promote my career and reach my targeted audience. The website I designed for this class can be found here.
While working with Diijo, I learned how to annotate on separate websites and create sticky notes. I was completely unaware that you could even annotate on any website and people with the extension could see your work so I was surprised to see other student's annotations when searching for websites for different assignments. This application can be useful when conducting research for different projects because students can see what other classmates are using for their research to avoid using the same information. It will also allow me to see what students choose for their projects and allow me to determine if they are plagiarizing or not. This can help me in my profession because I can conduct research and annotate right on the page so if I ever need to go back it is easy to find.
With technology constantly changing, it's important for teachers to continue adapting and adjusting their classrooms as well. The skills newer generations of students learn to help them succeed at different jobs later in life and allows them to become comfortable enough with learning new technology since it is always changing. If teachers did not utilize technology and different platforms in their classrooms students would be less likely to adapt or learn later in life. Any news website can keep people informed on new technology trends being used for education. I chose to use the New York Times, since it is my go-to news source when researching for school-related assignments.
Hi Jessica! I love your website:) The header/background's colors work so well with each of your pages and it is very easy to navigate. Each of your pages and sections are very well organized, and your descriptions are thorough but not redundant. Great job!
ReplyDeleteHi Jessica! Your website was so cute. I love how you have a form at the bottom for questions from students. I too think Diigo can be helpful with research and annotating right on the page. Good Job!
ReplyDeleteHi Jessica! I think your website is so creative. The contrast between the background and text is perfect since it allows the information to pop. I like the flow and simplicity of the website. It is easy for everyone to use. Additionally, I like that you kept the color scheme and fonts repetitive throughout to make a clean cut website.

ReplyDeleteI really liked your class website. I thought the color that it gave off was very nice. Immediately when I logged on the page I could tell that you were teaching art. From the structure of the website, the only thing I struggled with was how it lacked horizontal space. I felt that I was scrolling vertically for a while and that seemed annoying. Other than that I thought the website was great!
