During the Web Design Assignment, I learned many things! I had never used “Weebly” before, so figuring out how to use the site building tool was a learning curve, but once I got it, it was easy! Additionally, I learned lots about how to embed things within a website. The term “embedding” seemed a lot scarier than the actual task was! I liked being able to learn how to build a website because I think it's a useful task. I also enjoyed making the website created for the students. Although I really enjoyed this assignment, the only thing I could see that would make it better would be to use a different site than Weebly, as I thought Weebly seemed a bit dated.

I learned many new skills from working with Diigo! I think that Diigo is a great resource for being able to share information and connect with others. I like how collaborative Diigo is, and I enjoyed learning how to post articles, annotate articles, and comment on others' posts. This application can be useful in my future classroom because I can implement Diigo as a tool for sharing articles and information among the students. Additionally, Diigo is a great group work tool, because it focuses so much on collaborativeness. Lastly, Diigo is a great tool for my individual professional efforts because it is helpful with learning new information from others.
Technology and teacher professional development go hand-in-hand nowadays. In earlier times, teachers did not have as much technology to implement in a classroom, but now teachers have almost every resource at their fingertips. Teachers today are responsible for keeping up with the latest technological innovations that will benefit their students in the classroom. Additionally, students can benefit from learning about new technological innovations as well, because it can help their student life and professional life. Professional development for teachers means that not only does the teacher succeed, but the students do too. By using advanced technology methods in the classroom, teachers can improve their professional development overall.

Hey Lindsey, I really liked your website it was very simple and included good information. I would suggest in the future to make sure that all your texts align. On the front page, the announcements does not align with the rest of the headings next to it but overall, great job on everything else.
ReplyDeleteHey Lindsay, I really enjoyed looking at your site! I loved how you were ablet o make everything pop through the use of contrasting colors. I also loved how easy it was to read, and how accessible it was. I would say that you could have implemented the concepts of alignment more, however I would say that overall, you did great and this would be an amazing tool for your kids to use in the classroom!
