A web site of my own

Websites contain a collection of digital documents, objects, images, sounds and an abundance of related web pages and addresses pertaining to one central idea or topic. Websites can sell products, services and information or provide a bank of information. Governments, schools, individuals and retail establishments use websites to access customers and provide information for them. A website can only be managed by a person or an organisation. Only they can change the layout, or content, delete or add hyperlinks, insert movies or learning objects. Creating a website is relatively easy and can be accessed anytime, not limiting its use to school hours only.
This tool would be ideal to incorporate with an assessment task to show evidence of research, related and relevant topics, theorists and students own definitions and new understandings demonstrated and presented in a meaningful and purposeful way. The tools available to design and structure how information can be presented are unlimited and create a platform like no other for students to experiment with multiple intelligences and abilities in numerous ways. Lower level students would create a website with the class as a collaborative and informative project to document their learning journey and to keep parents and networks informed of the learning journey.
As with any public domain, students need to know how to access the most authentic and accurate content in the most constructive and secure way which means legitimate and reliable sources of information must be sourced, and provided in some lower year classes so students have all the information required to complete the task . Digital literacy and critical literacy skills need to be employed to access appropriate and relevant information and further educate students and their ability to find safe information with ease and accuracy.

School website: Schools have secure online intranet websites for students’ access at school and teachers can set up a password that only those students can access from elsewhere. This networking between school and home is occurring in many schools. The school website has an added benefit which provides evidence of students work and progress through uploaded pictures, information and presentations. School work can be obtained from the site if students are sick or away, homework can be delivered this way and parents can be more involved in their students learning journey by providing an avenue for communication and future learning goals.
Blooms taxonomy exemplifies the process of remember, understand, apply, analyse, evaluate and design structures which align well with the Big 6. learning framework of website production. This creative element is valued in the new knowledge economy as Ken Robinson (2010) has justified many times in his professional development seminars
