Reflexive Journal 1

After the first week of class, I have to say that I find the subject matter in the class to be very interesting. I come to this class with no previous knowledge of website creation, and for that matter not that much experience with computers, but I feel that this class will be very helpful as an introduction to computer software like Dreamweaver.

Before entering this class, I had never heard of the Dreamweaver. It is amazing how simple and easy it is to use. I know that we have only started with the basics in class, but I can see that this program is very user friendly and not complicated to understand at all.

Tuesday’s class was good for me as an introduction to the material to be covered in class. It was also nice to hear from my classmates and see their reasons and motivations for this class. Hearing the description of the course and the material to be covered during the year is always important to me. I like to start planning out the amount of time that I have to put into each subject from the beginning.

I was also grateful for being able to sit in, and participate in class since I wasn’t officially registered yet, due to some scheduling issues. It was nice to get that taken care off immediately after class was over, so I wouldn’t have to spend more time worrying about it, and that way I could star concentrating on my school work.

Yesterday’s class was very interesting. It was a good way of getting introduced to the Dreamweaver program. I particularly enjoyed the way we went trough each step carefully and together as a team. For someone like me that has very little experience handling computer software, taking my time to fully understand what it is that we are doing is very helpful.

One thing that I really liked about Dreamweaver was the way that you can check out how your website is coming along as you are working on it. I find it to be a very good tool that allows you to try different things, and see what works or not before you finish your website. I am looking forward for class on Tuesday to learn and see all the other things that Dreamweaver can help us do.
