Creating A Web Page

Creating a web page is something that is not always easy to accomplish but definitely rewarding in the end. It is very time consuming and may take a few days to even several weeks to complete but the finished product can and is so useful for so many things, whether it is for one's classroom, which can be beneficial for the students and parents; or if it is for a business, which can help consumers know exactly what you are selling.

I created a WebQuest and although it took awhile to finish I was so proud of the end result and would recommend it to anyone looking to improve their style of teaching, etc. especially if you are into technology. I am now building a school web page through the Scholastic website, and this website will allow students and parents to access the class's homepage for homework, news, announcements, photos, and events. It is very kid-friendly and geared toward a elementary school level with the bright, colorful layouts and fun animated pictures. It is something I would also recommend for educators to use in their classroom, only if you are going to update it daily, otherwise you know how parents can get...they will complain and trying to avoid that would be by taking charge and keeping on top of things.

Creating a web page is a learning experience because it gets you familiar with using the computer and different sites, researching the web, creating something for others to access and use as well as yourself, and becoming in tune with the changing times. Whether you've had a positive or negative experience creating a web page, you should never let that inhibit you from trying again. Turn it into a fun experience and see how creative you can be!

  1. Christina,

    You are so wise.

    You stated, "It is something I would also recommend for educators to use in their classroom, only if you are going to update it daily, otherwise you know how parents can get...they will complain and trying to avoid that would be by taking charge and keeping on top of things."

    You *do* know parents. I always suggest creating a webpage to teachers if they can maintain it.

    Great work!
