Concept Map & First draft of Website

I found this week's activities somewhat difficult because I had never created a concept map for designing a website before. I found this process difficult at first, because I had to decide on a topic. I chose to create a website that might have useful information for me and my future students. I decided to create a website about the human body and the different parts of it. I designed it for third graders. I organized it into different lessons that the students would be going through on their own as well as a review and quiz after the lessons.

The tool I chose to use to aid me in developing a website was Weebly. I have been very impressed with Weebly so far. It has been easy to use because all you have to do is drag and drop different items such as text, images, or videos, on to the site and they appear on the page. Also, Weebly provided several tutorials that were useful when first learning to create a website.

I think this new experience of developing a website will be challenging and exciting at the same time. I am excited to begin planning my lessons and deciding what multimedia I should incorporate in the lessons. I am glad I am getting the chance to develop my own website, and I hope to be able to use what I learn while doing this in the future.
