After working on my final project Website over the last several days, I found myself hooked on the process and greatly enjoyed the results. Learning how to make tables, using ImageChef and ClockLink, changing hyperlink colors, and linking to investing websites has been an enlightening experience. I now have a much greater appreciation of the work that goes into creating Websites and view sites with a more critical eye.
My only previous experience with HTML is with Classzoom, our district's CMS. The help link in Classzoom allows for only the basics such as underline, bold, and italic. This final project helped me learn more creative HTML options such as alignment, color hex values, ordered and unordered lists, and table hyperlinks, padding, spacing, and borders.
Over the weekend, I will make greater use of graphics in my final project, while always keeping in mind that my audience is my 8th and 9th grade students. I look forward to using this project in my Financial Life Skills classes this fall and eagerly anticipate my students' reviews (positives and negatives) on being introduced to a stock market simulation through web-based learning.
