Creating a Web Site

For this class the objective will be to design a professional website that can be used for the collection of materials that you will create throughout the rest of your time in the program. You are welcome to begin with a simple personal webpage and built to the construction of a larger site. Before we begin constructing the pages please read the following resources on applications of the Web to learning, then please browse the remaining sites detailing the design and construction of Web pages and sites.

Evaluating websites & designing WebQuests

For this class the objectives will be to learn what a webquest is, how to design one, and to help you design and construct a webquest that you can use with your classes. To reach these objectives you will need to access only a few sites that I have listed below. Please explore these sites fully and come to class with a topic and beginning description of the webquest that you will design. In class we will discuss the nature of this pedagogical approach, we will review some sites and then begin the process of assisting you to build your quest.
