Reflection #3

What? Yesterday I was able to create a website page in my Technology in Education class. It was so great because I could do the encoding for the page and create my own page about whatever information I wanted to put online. I chose to make my page about Africa, because I have a presentation in another of my classes this week regarding this topic.

So What? Since I chose to make a page with material on it that I am also using in another class, I wanted to be able to access the website page for my other presentation. The tricky thing was being able to get to it from another computer, one other than my own. At first, I was only able to access it through my computer, but I realized that if I sent it to my email account, then I could access it from any other computer, via my email. In doing this, I realized that I additionally had to add a link for the google picture that I had originally included on my page. This way I could easily access the picture of North Africa during my presentation by clicking on the link.

Now What? I plan to use this website as a piece of the presentation I have been putting together for my other class. It's all pretty exciting for me since I have never done this before, and with practice, perhaps I can make another webpage sometime that is more complex than this current one. I learned that creating sites takes time and is not as easy as it may seem. I'm not only proud of the simple one I made, but I now have a much greater appreciation for the people who create various websites.
