Description of your instructional Web site:
After many, many long hours of working with html, css, and Dreamweaver, I FINALLY completed my project. I would have liked more time with it, but with this whirlwind course coupled with other summer classes, I just couldn't manage more than what I did. Although, I do plan on utilizing it more to assist my teaching. Very exciting! For this assignment, I wanted to make a site that my students could visit and reference throughout their time in my class. I only listed the first three class sessions, but I'd like to do more later. My index page informed the reader of the content pages. There were three lesson pages: Understanding Risk, Types of Data, and Survey Construction. I also included a reference page that identified all of my sources and identified myself. A contact option is also available in case the visitor wants to contact me for some reason. Basically, this website is designed for students in my class, but I think it could be useful for anyone interested in research basics.
What obstacles you encountered with the technology or with creating instructional content:
I pretty much had the same issues that I've been having with html/css coding. I wanted to do so much more with my pages, but I just needed more time to mess around in DW and get it figured out.
How you resolved these obstacles:
I used the same CSS coding for all my pages and changed the features within them. This cut down on the amount of individual time I had to fix each page. I think it turned out to be pretty cool... but I guess that's just my opinion. :)
What successes you experienced:
I DID IT!!! That in itself is an accomplishment. I learned how to publish the site onto the web and finally started decorating the way I wanted to. I feel like I'm getting the hang of coding SO much more than before.
What Dreamweaver features would you like to use that you have not yet used?
I'd like to use more of the template varieties more. I'd also like to link Photoshopped pictures into my DW pages and really utilize all that Adobe has to offer. I also started watching videos on the features offered on the right column of the homepage in DW, and those look really neat too.
