Day One of Website Creation

I am completely confused out of my mind. I have read some instructions that are provided on the LMS (Learning Management System), but I still feel bewildered and terrified of this assessment and unit. Its my very first time creating a website and blog. So all of the content is new to me. I am creating this blog to complete this assessment and to assist in my learning process with technology in the unit EDN113 - Living and Learning with Technology.

Interestingly enough, coming from a (computer) gamer background to creating a professional teaching website. Its not as easy as it seems. There are so many things to learn: Copyright issues, the specific types information to include in blogs

  • Content
  • Attitudes and feelings
  • Learning strategies
  • Network and communication
  • Connections and extensions
  • Visuals and links
To develop my understanding of these classifications and overcome my problems - not knowing a single thing about constructing a webpage. I browsed around the LMS and the Technology Toolbox for Educators for any videos and information about how to make a professional website. The Technology Toolbox for Educators appeared to be very useful in teaching me about why Copyright is important - Ideas (which eventually become products) can be worth a millions of dollars and having those ideas copyright protected means that they would be safe from others.


Hopefully in a couple weeks time, I would have settled in more comfortably into the EDN113 and become more familiarized with what 'meaningful learning with technology' truly is. 

To be continued... another day :)
