Assignment 3 / Create Web Site

Creating a Web Site:

Well, this weeks reading assignments were interesting and it help me alot when I began to create my web site. The Google page creator section, and Web page design & development video were the most helpful. It gave me a step by step account of what to do and how to do it. Do you know what is Critical Video gave me the information I needed to build a good web site. Things to keep in mind when designing and what is not so good to use/have on your site.

Assignment 3 was not a hard assignment although going in I feel a little afraid of how it would come out, because it was my first time. Actually it was easy and it was a great learning experience. It was easier than I thought. The only problem I ran into was when I could not get my naviagation buttons to link. I dont know what I was doing wrong. I think it was my computer because after I did it a couple times the links worked. Other than that I had no problems with this Assignment, I truly enjoyed the learning experience. I will however go back in Google Page Creator and navigate the system to see what else I can do. That way I can become more familiar with the site and its capablities.

Introduction to Blogflio

IT648 Blogfolio Introduction

Well our class has gotten off to a great start. We began by introducing our selves to Dr. Yuen and our classmates via the discussion board. Which I enjoy reading about my classmates and their many accomplishments. We emailed our phone # and email addresses to the professor to be placed in the listserv, so that we may communicate with one another. Week I began with reading Introduction to Telecommunications and Internet Basics. In reading Introduction to Telecommunications the handouts, notes, and media sections provided what telecommunication means, telecommications traffic and they work, Data , Signaling, Asynchronous and Synchronous Based Instruction, Advantages of Telecommuncations and the advantages it has in Education. The handout also discuss the internet its capabilities, and email. It showed how a third grade class preformed the same daily activities as other classrooms only they communciated with other children in other countries. This topic covered several different telecommunication tools and how they work. Where as the Internet Basics topic covered how to use the many internet tools, and search tools.

I look forward to all the coming assignments, they all look interesting. I am still new to the program and I'm so excited to learn all the technology information this semester has to offer. I have taken classes under Dr. Yuen before and I know this class will be just as interesting as the others.

See you on the WEB :)

Introduction

Hello All,

I am Tawana Banks a 38 year old married mother of two gorgeous boys. I am originally from Chicago,ILL and try to get home as much as possible. I married my college sweet heart, we have been married for 12 years. I graduated with a BS Degree in Social Science Education from Jackson State University in 1994. I taught special education for 6years, until I thought I had enough. I have since realized that the classroom is were my heart is and I am excited to say that I am making my way back. When I left the classroom I worked for Attorney General Mike Moore for many years, and now I am currently the Director of Programs for the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Gulf Coast Administrative Offices here in Gulfport, MS. I am in my 3 semester of Graduate School at USM. I slowed down this spring and summer with a small class load because my job/family became more demanding as all families do, but I am back on fast lane.

Since I have been in the IT program at USM I have learned more than I could have ever imagined, and I am still so SHOCKED when someone ask me to help them with something and I actually know the answer or I can figure it out. :) I have enjoyed being in this Masters Program and I look forward to being in the online doctoral program if they decide to have it.

I love spending time with my family, we have Sunday Dinner every Sunday after church. We go to a different family members house and then we start over. It is great fellowship, good food and a great time catching up with one another. I am also a wedding planner. My cousin and I own Crimson & Cream Creations it is a great passion of ours. Well, I hope I have shared with you some interesting facts about myself and I have/will enjoy your blogs as well.

I look forward to working with all of you,
Tawana Banks
