a. Describe what you had to do in the assignment.
In this assignment students were asked to choose an inspirational person to study. We then looked up information on the internet about the persons biography and accomplishments and filled out a plan for the project. We also included an introduction on the person which told some basic information about who the person was and used html code to site all the sites we used to find the information and the pictures. After, we went on weebly.com and made a web site including the introduction, biography, accomplishments and citation. We also added in pictures to each page as well as a banner containing at least 2 pictures. Lastly, I added a video clip into my website of Martin Luther Kings, I have a Dream Speech as well as a slide show that showcased some of his famous quotes. At the end i wrote a paragraph on why I believe Martin Luther King should be idolized.
b. Describe the technology skills you had to use to complete this assignment.
For this project the technology skills I had to use was Google Chrome, Microsoft Word, G mail, and Weebly.
I used Google Chrome to find information on Martin Luther King Jr. as well as some pictures. I used Microsoft Word to complete my bio plan, I used G mail to send my finished work to Mrs. Darmody and I used Weebly to build my website as well as to find more useful pictures to use on the website. I was also introduced to html code to link the sources i used to each actual webpage.
c. Describe what you learned and accomplished by creating this piece of work.
By creating this piece of work I learned how to use html code usefully so, when someone clicks on the citation it will bring them straight to the website that I found my information on. I now have more understanding of how to build a basic website. I put down a foundation to my website building. While building my website I learned how to make a picture banner and how to embed an audio clip as well as a slideshow into my website. I learned how to find reliable sources on the internet as well as pictures and I gained information about Martin Luther King's life.
d. Explain what you did well in this assignment?
I did well on the information collection with this website. I added more and more information to the bio plan as I kept finding out more. I also think i did well with the html code as well as the banners and the pictures that went along with each paragraph of information. For each banner I had at least 2 pictures and used some of the other picture tools as well and with each section of information I included a picture that incorporated with the topic and used a caption for each picture.
e. Explain what you would do differently to improve your work in this assignment?
To improve my work I found more pictures and audio to enhance the readers understandings about what was being said in the website. I could also use more of the tools to make my website more interesting and make people want to keep reading. I could have used dividers to separate each set of information and put in a video of Martin Luther King's life.
