Our last class was a lot of fun. At least, it was for me. I have never made a website before and have always wanted to. I didn't know it could be so hard, and so easy.
Writitng an entire website in html "language" would be really hard and take a lot of time. Just the short little ones we made took a while. It is hard to remember all of the different tags and you have to be really careful to not forget anything. I've had a little bit of experience with html because of my family's wiki, but I think ours is a simplified version.
I don't know if I could ever write my own webpage. I mean, I could probably figure out how to format it and get all the information on it, but we didn't talk about how to put it on the internet so I have would have no idea what to do.
It was good to know what goes into making a website, but I'm glad there is always google around to help us out. Google Sites is pretty awesome. It reminded me a lot of instructional architect, but that is probably becuase I made it look similar and created it for an elementary school class. I like Google Sites way better. It has so many more features and, like all google products, it is more straight forward and user friendly.
Websites can be used for anything. For teachers, websites can be used for specific classes so that any information the students need is available online. Or, you can use it to post your own ideas or lesson plans so that other teachers can access them. However, they should be sure to include their name on the page, when it was last updated, and their credentials, as well as where their information originated from. Otherwise, their site will receive poor evaluations and no one will use it.
Now, there is a cetain paper I need to go write, so I will end there.
