June 15, 2021 Reflection

 In today's class, we started by looking at some examples of websites done by students from a few years ago. It was interesting to see the different kinds of topics and genres they chose and the way they approached their idea especially because I noticed that a lot of the topics were chosen according to the relative events of the time. As said in class, because they used the old version of Google sites, it was a little rough on the design side which I would like to work on. 

We then got back into our groups to work on the website. Mr. Paterson gave us some tips for how we should do our websites and other advice that would make it better. For example, unifying the color theme would give more of a professional look. Another tip was to use the bio we made at the start of the semester as a way to introduce ourselves. These were things that the students from a few years ago weren't able to do.

It was difficult to choose what to pick for our websites as they have to be somewhat linked yet something big enough for all of us to write 5 paragraphs on. I wanted to do something that was unique as we saw a lot of examples of previous websites, but they all had generic "global information" or something that most people would probably come up with. But when we tried to think of other alternative ideas they all had critical flaws which made it hard for them to use.
