The objective of this set of learning activities is to give students the opportunity to explore and experiment with technology by creating their own classroom website. By providing feedback to each other and communicating via the website, students are participating as part of a community and gaining an understanding of social networking. Students will be introduced to a range of graphical representations including photos and videos and be given the opportunity to share some of their own.
