Blog Post: 5/4 Website Reflection

• Blog Post: 5/4 Website Reflection
• Reflect on your experience with Weebly or Wix.  Did you enjoy building your own website?  Did you find it easy, hard, etc...  Now that you know these free/low cost options exist, would you use a tool like this to create a website in the future?
• After reviewing the websites of 10 of your classmates, reflect on your TWO favorites
• Why did you like these websites so much? 

Overall it was a good experience. I enjoyed doing it for the most part but did most of it last night and it took me forever though so it kind of took some of the fun out of doing it! It was pretty easy but you know these types of things take a lot longer than you expect! I could possibly use a tool similar to this to make a website in the future. One of my favorites was Bryn's Website. I liked how she separated the different choirs. The overall site was effective in its purpose. I also liked Jazmin's. What made me think of her website was the sponsor page, I thought that was a clever idea. Her website was simple, covering what it needed, and easy to navigate. Liked those list of things about the her website.

Blog Post:  4/25 Website Selection

Have you ever created a website before?  If yes, what technology did you use?  HTML, Weebly, Wix, etc.?  Tell me about your experience....  then continue below

 I think I have used Weebly and possibly Wix. I made my own personal website. I explored them. On one of the websites, I investigated how to make a website someone could sell things off of. I also made a weird personal website when I was depressed that talked about how to be okay. It was a long time ago! I might have done the other for a project i really don't know. I do not think i have used HTML. 

If you answered no to the above question, then you are in for a treat.  

Everyone...continued blog post.  Take a look around Weebly & Wix and decide which website creation tool you like the best and will use for this project. (In your blog post, tell me which one you've selected and why)  Once you have seen what both have to offer, select an activity/club/sport that you are involved with (share with me which one you have chosen & why you selected this activity/club/sport).  Now, begin creating your website using the assignment sheet below. I choose to use Weebly because it seemed the quickest and easiest when i compared it to Wix. I will be doing a website about swim because i know a lot about the sport at my school and could talk about Blue Valley Girls Swim for days.

Blog Post: 4/17 Favorite New Apps

MONDAY, APRIL 17 & TUESDAY, APRIL 18

Today in Emerging Tech:

Blog Post: 4/17 Favorite New Apps
Using your notes sheet from our class "App Investigation" presentations last week, select FIVE apps that you do NOT currently use, but now might download.  Create a table with the following information & include it in your blog post. 

Please also include a reflection on the project overall.  Did you enjoy this project?  Why/Why not?

Name of APP	Name of Student Presenter	What you found interesting about the APP	How will you use the APP?
Smart Tool Demos	Lillian	So many cool features i could use	maybe to measure something
The Hunt	Jillian	You can find the cute cloths you see on online pictures	If i see a dress i love  i could see where it is from and try to find where its from so i can see the cost
Wunderlist	Lance	I love making lists so the fact there is an app about lists makes me want it to stay on top of things i need	If i am making a packing list i can make a list of all the things i need
Swift Key	Zach	I am always looking for something to spice up my life so this seems like a fun way to change something i do daily (texting)... i think its an interesting way to text!	I want to download this so i can text in a whole new way!
Postmates	Katie	The fact that someone can pick stuff up for people (Someone you have never met before) through an app is cool and innovative. It's just a new way to make life a little easier.	If i wanted to show my friends this cool app I could show them by having a sandwich delivered to my doors

I enjoyed this project more than most in this class! I liked how we got to pick our apps. I also enjoyed hearing about some of the apps. I liked how much wiggle room we had to choose both the app and the presentation tool. Overall it seemed like this was one of the best projects because people got to choose what they wanted to talk about, for me, that made the project more fun. It wasn't a compete drag to do!
