1) I used Dreamweaver to create an informational swimming site for Northwest Arkansas. My two html pages were the home page which included information about swimming in general and the second page talked about the specific strokes (freestyle, backstroke, breastroke, and butterfly) in swimming. I included pictures on each page and was able to change the font.
2) The biggest obstacle I encountered was putting my site onto the comp.uark.edu server. I couldn't get it to work in Dreamweaver because I had CS5 and the instructions posted on blackboard were not applicable. As far as problems with Dreamweaver, it took me awhile to figure out how to change the font and make the site look "good."
3) To fix the problem with the server, I ended up calling Dr. Beck and U of A tech support and was able to get my site working on the server using the SSH file transfer protocol option. The font changes and styling in Dreamweaver was resolved by using the properties tab and remembering to select in-line css style when wanting to make a change.
4) I was really excited to see the finished product, especially in getting it to work online using the SSH file transfer! That was the biggest success other than just being able to create the site and make it all work together smoothly.
5) I would like to make instructional sites for my students to be able to access throughout the year (especially when the material gets really tough). I'm going to attempt to make an instructional site on how to solve Quadratics this week. If I am successful, I'm going to have my students access the site and give me their feedback. This would be ideal for future units...if I can find the time to get it done!
