Working on the Web Page

This week we worked on creating different subtopics for our page. I decided to split the topics up the same way I had done for the google bookmarks and placed the same internet sources I had previously found. I think this makes it very easy to navigate through our page and you can go straight to exactly what it is you are looking for. Now that I have gotten a hang of using this google websites thing it has become much simpler to create and design new pages. I ran into some troulble formatting my pages and trying to get a picture in there, but for the most part I think it turned out good! I really hope this site is something that will benefit students and teach them more about HPV!

WebQuest Creating!

This week we created a WebQuest activity to go on our web page involving our topic. I really enjoyed doing this activity because coming from a health and physical education undergrad I got to use my imagination and try to be creative. I choose to do a WebQuest because my activity would probably be centered around a middle to high school level so I wanted to go ahead and provide them with some resources. I also wanted to do an activity which got the students working together and learning the information in a manner in which they could teach their classmates. This was always a way I learned best at that age level so I figured it would be a good idea!

Fair Use

This week we completed an assignment which we had to determine whether or not using imformation for a web page would be considered fair use or not. This assigment and the checklist really helped to determine if something was in fair use and permitted to be used without permission. The assignment also forced us to read our classmates responses in order to see others views and respond to them. I think I am going to keep this checklist handy when doing other assignments which requires the use of information that is not my own knowledge.

We also had to come up with four scenarios that were either in fair use or violated it. We had determine whether it was fair use and tell why are why not it would fall under that category. This really helped me with figuring out how to determine whether or not different things would fall under fair use.
