Making a Website

Websites make up the Internet, and they are about so many different things.

I used Weebly to make my own website. The setting up of the website was surprisingly easy, actually easier then making the Wiki or the Blog.

The set up of the page itself was just a simple drag and drop. The hardest part about the website was deciding what it was going to be about. I decided on a site that was aimed at illustrating the fun that could be had with GISHWHES. Check it out here. 

SWOT for website use in the classroom

Using a website in the classroom context has its positives and negatives. if it was to be used as a teaching resource or student task, it would require a lot of monitoring of what students are using in their posts. As with all Internet posting sites copyright laws come into effect and students need to understand its importance in order to use these sites appropriately.
If used appropriately, a website would be a good way for a group of students to express information on a particular subject (eg, group work on animals, where the website outlines everything about the animal)
