This week I completed my website project. What I did to complete this project was begin by reading and understanding the basics to creating a website through the material on my classes website. I then created a wire frame. A wire frame is essentially a plan or visual layout of how you want your website to look like and operate. This was very helpful in putting together my website, because I already had ideas for how I wanted it to look like. I then began writing the content I wanted to share on my site and typing it into a separate word document. I also found the images I was planning on using as well. From there I created a Weebly.com account. It is a very user friendly website creator. I was easily able to copy and paste my materials, and change the layouts and background for my website. Weebly had some fun additives I ended up incorporating into my website that weren’t on my initial plan.
The part about this project I enjoyed the most was using the Weebly site to finally put my website together. The most difficult part of the project was planning what content I wanted to use and how to word things nicely on my website. I think Weebly worked really well in allowing me to put my website together very easily. Next time I were to make a website, I would investigate the website creator prior to making my wire frame. This would be helpful so that I could plan to that website creators capabilities. Overall I think this website project will be a very useful tool for me in my future as a teacher. Many educators have website to connect with students, parents, and colleagues.
