This week the entire class time was devoted to working on our websites. In all honesty I didn't get that much work done on my website because I got distracted with trying to make the banner on my page look right by fiddling with it through Dreamweaver. I always seem to do things the hard way. I could have just edited the image in Photoshop and put the text I wanted on it on the image in that program, but no, I have to be me, and see if I can accomplish that in Dreamweaver itself. I'm close to getting it figured out, and I really would like to do it this way because I would feel very accomplished, but I may just resort to Photoshop in order to make my life easier, and actually finish my website.
We learned how to set up a basic layout for our pages, and put in content and images. It was a good review for me, and that's why I got distracted with something that I don't know as well. My website is about clouds. I'm worried that I have too much information, and won't be able to finish my website in a timely manner, but we'll see.
I really like all of the flexibility you have in Dreamweaver, but in all honesty I don't think I'll use it as a teacher. First, I don't even know if I'd have access to it. Second, I don't think I would have time to create a website like this. I think websites can be an invaluable tool in many ways though, and I think that I will find a free online program that I am happy with, and use that extensively both for classroom units, as well as, staying connected with parents, and keeping them up to date on what is occurring in my classroom.
