The website creation was a neat idea. I was extremely intimidated by it at first because the thought of creating a website just sounded so beyond my technical capabilities. After fooling around on Google Sites, the site creation tool we used, I found out creating a basic website wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I appreciated the simplicity of Google Sites, however, there was one major thing I would have changed. I wish I could have had more appearance options. For example, I wish we could have had more font and color options. Also, I wish I could just click on an area of the screen and be able to place an image there, rather than only have a few places where I can place the image. Being able to change the size of the picture to small, medium, large, or original size seemed a little old school after normally being able to size an image however I want.
As a project, I'm glad I learned about this. I knew people in high school who were creating websites and always thought that was something I would never do. It's nice to be able to say that I am capable of making a website. I think if I would have put more time into the website, I would have become more familiar with the different tools and options and would have had a better site. However, I can take this basic information and use it in my classroom. There are so many teachers who have websites that I don't want to be left in the dust. This is information I will definitely take advantage of and I will probably use Google Sites again in the future.
