The web design assignment was hard for me to do. I didn't like the layout of the themes. It didn't give me the kind of options that I was looking for. Not to mention already having to delete existing pictures and layouts made it more complicated. Inserting links and things like that wasn't easy for me to do. It was kind of overwhelming in all. I didn't really like the website at all. I've used another site to create a website for a small business called Wix. That was much easier to navigate through. I am not sure I would use Weebly for future use. I also have trouble accessing my account to make corrections. I guess it wasn't published or something like that. So, now I have to figure out how to get back into the account in order to make corrections.
Diigo was a pretty cool website. Being able to save searches and highlight main areas of it to be able to go back to if needed is great. Especially in a teaching environment when you go back to it next year with a new group of students. It will be much easier to access it and with the information already having been linked. Also, if you ever wanted to share said information with other teachers or collogues, it will be a sinch to just send that information with everything they'll need to have in just a click of a button.
One website that I could use to stay informed with teaching and the rapid changes in the technology curve might be GlobalPD. This is the type of website with nearly an infinite number of resources that could help a person with anything they might need help with. There are over 900 videos for professional learning, multiple books on different subject areas, and there are live meetings throughout the day. If a person doesn't use this forever, it least is a great tool to help you get really creative and learn at a rapid pace on how to best teach kids for a better future!
Hi! I felt the same about the website. I also tried to go back into my website on Weebly to make changes and it was a hassle to get back in. I have used Wix before and I agree it is much easier! I liked the website you included in your blog to keep up on tecnhology changes.
ReplyDeleteHello! Yes, I also struggled with the website. It definitely took some getting used to. I also have more experience using Wix, I've used that website for two other classes and it is much more easy to navigate and control. I definitely think the templates on Weebly were more trouble than they were worth. Great post, I enjoyed reading!
