As I read over this week’s assignments, I was a little
reluctant at first reading. This
activity has a narcissistic theme to it and I am more of a “fly under the wire”
type of person. After reviewing several suggested
options for developing the portfolio, I chose to tackle developing a web site. The topic for my Master’s Thesis in the early
2000’s was using web sites in the classroom.
I wanted to see what has changed in the past fifteen years in terms of
developing a web site. I was blown away
at how easy the process was using Wix.com.
It was fun not having to deal with HTML code. I felt that I could focus more on the design
and content of the web site without worrying about broken links or incorrect
code. It was also extremely user
friendly to go back in to the pages and make edits. All I can say is wow!
I tried to break my portfolio up in different pages that
made sense to me and break my digital life up into organized areas where
information could be added in the future.
I also wanted to use more pictures and keep text to a minimum. Anyway, this was my first experience with
developing a web site in a long time but it certainly won’t be the last. I could easily see developing a class web
site. This was a very rewarding activity
and I believe one that will push me to incorporate more technology into my
classroom.
