Reflection on creating a website.

In creating this website, I have realized how important having your information ready and pre-typed helps. When editing, it is hard to decipher  the information as you are typing it. Typing into Word or Notepad helps in checking for errors and saving the document so that you can go back and evaluate your typing. Also, with different loading times and internet traffic, it provides a safety net just in case the site is too busy or your computer has a disconnect.
 
I like the idea of having a website on the internet for my students/parents/colleagues to see to recieve more information and insight of my philosophy as a teacher and as an artist. Many of the teachers at the school I teach at have not seen my artwork before, and this could be an outlet. Having your information ready and accessible helps in creating a more approachable touch to my classroom.
 
In creating this website and taking the technology class, the opportunities of expanding technology within my classroom has more than doubled in just creating a website, using Publisher, and transforming my photography lesson into something more feasible and cost effective.
