In today's education., with today's web tools, there is really no reason why one can't produce a website. In this module we were given the choice of webpage design tools and instructed to create a website we could use. I chose to use Wix.com. It creates a Flash-based website and I had never used it before.
I decided to create a website for my students to view on the Vikings. Our World History textbook only discusses them briefly but they had a profound effect on western culture for two centuries. Like most web-based page design programs, it was easy to use. I selected a template I liked and then started to customize it for my uses. I had a view issues with the program transferring pictures onto multiple pages. I am not sure if a setting was toggled or it was a mistake with Flash but after taking out the graphic and inserting it again, the problem when away. After getting everything laid out, I began to add my information. Once that was complete, I added some fun details that can be done in flash. I added animated flames and crackling fire sound to the home page.
It was very easy using this program but I would probably be more apt to use other webhosting to control have more control over the content. In a pinch or for a specific purpose, I think it is great.
