I didn't really work too much on Wiki because I spent most of my time on the website. There are other things that I can do on wiki but for right now they don't apply to me.
What was it like creating this project?
- time consuming :)
- I had a blast being able to use my own hands to create something from nothing
- frustrating at times. It is a free website so things don't work perfectly
- Frustrating. I feel like a digital immigrant when it comes to such complex works of art and for me to have to read everything slowly to understand and then be stuck if it is not explained well it gets frustrating
- enjoyable. Weebly offers a very simple website with step by step instructions (which i needed).
- un-enjoyable. Weebly is too structured. I'm not allowed to place things exactly where i want them b/c the way weebly works is that everything is consecutive on the page and not centered or separated by a column. You can however copy whatever you want from word so that is easily solved except for the inconvenience
- the wiki was hard to use at first because i thought i offered more things (and maybe it does and i haven't found out every thing yet)
what does this project mean to you?
this project has been helpful to me b/c i plan on using a class website and i would like to you a wiki as well to set up times for conferences. it has been an accomplishment for me b/c i don't consider myself tech savvy.
Nets for teachers:
3. Model digital age work and learing
I am demonstrating fluency in technology systems by creating a class website where my students can go and interact with the technology for the class. Creating this website shows to my students that i am not afraid to try new things. Creating the wiki is a contemporary tool that will come in handy and will be time efficient on both the side of the parent and the teacher
Nets for students:
1. creativity and innovation
hopefully through this website students will be encouraged to think creatively when using technology. I will give the students the ability to use technology to educate themselves. My website will be used as an example of a creative way to educate your self and use technology.
