Content about Web Content

In this module, we learned how to create a website using google sites and how to use animoto, a very fun tool that creates unique videos of user images. We also learned some lingo, such as: Web Accessibility (Not only did I learn the meaning, but also the correct spelling of "accessibility" Good thing I haven't had to use the word much in the past, because I've been spelling it wrong for years! Lucky for spell check) Measure of how compatible a site is for disabled or otherwise impaired users Syntax: set of rules that something operates under XHTML (Extensible hypertext markup language): stricter and cleaned up verison of HTML WYSIWYG (What You See is What You Get): programs that create html files but do not neccesarily require the creator of the file to be familar with coding. (An example is Google Sites) Web Design was the topic of discussion, and a very interesting one at that. The Voki below will talk about the discussion in greater detail. (I hope that is ok... I love those things!) As far as my partcipation in this module, it could definately stood for some improvement. I suppose spring fever got the better of me. (Un)fortunately, the weather has taken a turn for the worse (Snow in mid-April? Agh!) so there is one less thing to stand in the way of my work. I also have started a new (exhausting, albiet rewarding) job at a daycare, so that has sucked up a lot of my time. I will have to balance my time better and get going on this final project.
