final reflection:
Because I am a senior, my days as a student at SBRHS are quickly coming to an end. Term four is shortened for seniors, so I will therefore not be able to complete any other assignments in my Web Page Design class.
At the beginning of my senior year I decided to take Web Page Design as my elective in hopes of learning about the process of creating and maintaining a web page. Upon entering the class I was reminded about the SBRHS core beliefs and values. The school set these standards for their students to comply with to ensure a safe and productive learning environment. Throughout the year, I strived to comply with the core beliefs and values. I remained safe in the classroom, was responsible and productive each class, set high expectations for myself, and learned new skills from my teacher and peers.
Taking the Web Page Design class with Mrs. Darmody taught me a lot about creating and maintaining my own website. I learned how to create a webpage using HTML coding and how to create my own animation. I also learned how to embed videos and pictures into my webpage. This class also taught me the importance of finding valid sources when researching a new topic, and the importance of citing my sources for text, videos, and images. I feel that the skills and knowledge I have gained from taking this class will help me as a college student in the near future. Throughout the year I completed three major webpage projects. During the first term, I learned how to create my own webpage using HTML coding. During the second term, I created a biographical webpage on the Olympic swimmer Missy Franklin. Lastly, during the third term and half of the fourth term, I created a travel bureau webpage encouraging my peers to travel to Australia. Creating all three of these websites allowed me to experiment with the different tools Weebly has to offer as well as try different techniques in creating the webpage. I feel that I was very successful in my Web Page Design class. I was able to successfully manage my time, create organized and informative web pages, and present my work to my peers. Presenting my work to my peers each term helped me with public speaking. The Web Page Design Class was a great experience and I would highly recommend it to other SBRHS students.
