For
this project, creating an
Elementary website, I worked with Katy, Jess and Rachel. I enjoyed
working in a
group for this project because if we were assigned to do this on our
own it
would have taken a very long time to complete. Although it was nice to
break up
the responsibilities for the website, it was also a bit difficult to
get
everything done with the provided time. I think that group work in this
class
is helpful when there is a sufficient amount of time provided for the
activity.
You can learn a lot from others, no matter what class you are in.
Everyone has
different ideas to contribute that make the final outcome above and
beyond what
was expected.
We
were again required to use
Netscape Composer to create our Elementary website. We found pictures
on the
internet that worked well with our ideas and added them into the
website. When
we completed the website we used WS_FTP to publish the site and shared
it with
our classmates.
This project showed me how simple it really is to create a school website. I would like to create a classroom website when I get into my own classroom. I think that this is a great way to keep the students and their families informed with what we are doing, and what we will be doing in class.
