Advocate: Save Tibet!
When I first started on this project I came up with the idea of advocating for teaching children how to read. I thought this was a great idea because I love reading and I believe that children should be expose to literature at a young age. So I decided to make a website dedicated to helping children read. I wanted to use Photoshop to make the website because I am really picky on how my website will look like and I didn’t really like none of the templates that I had to choose from on Google site. My only main concern was on making the website using Photoshop is that I wouldn’t get it done in time and not getting my links to work.
So I started making this really cool design for my site but when I was done I couldn’t come up with enough information to put on five pages. So after searching the Internet looking for some more information I came to the conclusion that I should change my topic. So I decided to advocate for Tibet. Really at first, I was going to do this topic, but I get so heated over it that I didn’t want to end up ranting. So the challenge I had to face when switching my topic was that I had to go back and change my design around. I was pretty upset about this because I spent a couple of hours putting everything in the right place and I just ended up basically erasing everything that I made
So in the end, I ended up making just a simple design for my site. After laying everything out, my main concern was making the slices. I always have a hard time with this because I always get turned around on how to name them properly. But after carefully making sure getting my slices right my next step is saving for the web and then finding a hosting website to host my site.
I’ve never thought that posting my site on the web would be so hard. Every site that I went to to host it would not let me upload my files. Really this is the most frustrating thing because I worked so hard and spent so much time making a website and I cant even host it on the web. I’m not really sure why this won’t work but my mom thinks that because I am working on a Mac it may not be compatible.
Regardless of my problems I am still trying to figure them out. But overall I am please with the outcome of this project because I get to create a website about a topic that I care so deeply about and I get to have fun making it by doing it my own way. I hope that more people will become more aware about the problems that are happening in Tibet and that hopefully one day an agreement will come that either Tibet will finally become free or that China will finally agree to an open dialogue and they can both work out their differences.

I think that you origannly picked a great topic because children that can read and write have a much better chance at sucess in life. The more literate people and countrieas are the more likely they will find a good job and live more comfortably. I agree that more people need to be aware of tibet and other problems in the world. I agree also that picking a topic that was easy to do was hard and I changed my topic halfway through as well. I think you did a great job and i liked your reflection.
ReplyDeleteI agree totally! All children should learn how to read and write. It has become such an important part of communication. Since the internet is becoming more common around the world, the usage of phones to communicate has decreased and the amounts of emails have increased. I know that these children in Tibet may not have the luxury to use a computer at all, but I am just trying to show how important reading and writing is now-a-days.
ReplyDeleteI think that both of the topics are important. There are many people that do not really know much about Tibet - me being one of them. The other topic that you were also debating would of have also been a great topic too. Reading and writing are both very important to for success.
