My website was created and published using two
software programs: Nvu and Filezilla. I began to generate my website by
introducing myself to Nvu. It took a little while to get used to the program
and how to do certain tasks, such as uploading images, creating a color scheme,
and adding links. Once I had developed a layout and a few pages I had to link
them together. Each page and image then had to be uploaded onto my website by
transferring the files using Filezilla. I rearranged a few things and added
some more pages to create a website that was more appealing to me.
I believe that having the skills necessary to create a
website will be very beneficial when I become a teacher. One excellent example
would be a form of communication to the parents. To have a classroom website
would be helpful with informing the parents of my students by having class
information posted as well as a calendar of events and other items. However,
this website is not designed for that purpose. It was established as an
e-portfolio about myself to show that I possess the skills required to create a
website. This will be an ongoing project throughout the semester as I will be
adding more projects and changing the design and content.
