DFI- Week 6

This week I was able to spend time on something that I really needed to focus on which was my class site. I really benefitted from this week's session because it was something that I really needed to work on. It was excellent to have the support of the facilitators and scaffolding to create a site that is much more inviting than my site was before. 

One thing I really took away from this session was representing my students on the site. I want to have their images on the site and make it be a real reflection of them. I got started with this idea as soon as I got back to school and had one of my students use Google Draw to create new site images.
This is going to be something that we work on as a class this week to make the site our own. Here are before and afters of the images on my site.

I also learned how to make buttons on Google Draw which will make my site far more aesthetically pleasing.

A good before and after is my home page which drastically changed and is now far more accessible to the students. I'm excited to continue developing my site. I am full of ideas and inspiration to make it multimodal as well.

Considering I didn't know what Google Sites was at the start of this year, I'm feeling pretty happy with the progress so far. I'm really appreciating the benefits of the DFI program and I'm looking forward to the weeks to come.
