Students have investigated other personal websites, developed a brand guide / style sheet, and created wire frames and site maps in preparation for building their own websites. They have noted the content and features they want to include
to illustrate their strengths as addressed to their potential audiences,
and of the images, colors and other factors to represent their "brands"
(personas) on the web. These sets of sketches will serve as their
guides as they begin to build their web sites.
Each student has been assigned a Weebly Student Account, and have started
web-building! Students will watch and work through the
Weebly Beginner's Guide Video, and will refer to the
Weebly Help section for Web-building.
Each student will incorporate the following into their website:
- Home/Landing Page
- About Me/Bio Info
- Resume (Note: Resume Workshop is scheduled for later in the term.)
- Portfolio (various work by student: writing, design, art, photography, research, experience, etc.)
- VR Research Page (with Pecha Kucha slides - more info coming soon)
Students may also add:
- Special Interests Page
- Hobbies Page
- Job-specific Page for potential employers
- Community/Issues Page
Students will bring to bear all their previous knowing, doing and making
as resources for the site, including original photography, use of
freegal images, New Media writing and research, etc.
