It did not help when I saw past students efforts, which, to the untrained eye, looked far too professional for amateurs. However, when I began work on my own page, I was surprised at how simple creating a web site really is. I was lucky to be grouped with two friends of mine, one of whom I had collaborated with for a Education Issues presentation. Working collaboratively can often be difficult when participants have diverse and varying ideas.
Personality clashes are common and group work takes a far amount of give and take.
Fortunately, our group had similar ideas for the overall design of our group web page. We all studied humanities in our undergraduate degrees and all taught social science, so devising a theme for our web page was not difficult and we were careful to make sure that everyone s pet idea was included. Designing and constructing web pages was not as daunting as I first imagined. I created mine in Word 97 and I was surprised how simple it was to make one. As I had done Power Point 1 and 2, I felt that my skills had been well and truly utilised.
