How can I create a resource which will benefit students and teachers of HSC Extension 1 English Module B and the Elective, Navigating the Global?
I’ve had previous experience with designing techy things -- but more with video making. So making a website should be pretty challenging! The main thing that I keep thinking is… what am I even going to say about the course? I don’t want to just throw on a chunk of words that no one is going to read or sift through. And I don’t want to put on information that would just go over everyone’s heads, or stuff that is difficult to use practically…

So I guess from that little anxious dribble I’ve kind of said what I as a student would want from a website… That’s the point of this right? Haha.
One thing I have to say if I’m going be absolutely legitimate with myself… There is no way I’m going to be that super organised person that’s all “I’m going to finish the assignment given to me 3 months in advance straight away!” I wish this wasn’t true haha. But so far I have written a few ideas down (shock horror) about what I can do, specifically for the info on all the Navigating texts. I have a highly ambitious idea (ha) of having all these interactive resources that a user could engage in… like videos! Because real talk: a plain text site is boring and something people will quickly move on from.
But for now, the first step is trying to find one of those online website builders (the simpler to use, the better) so I can at least set up the skeleton to fill in over the coming months. A goal is to progressively add resources as we move through the course so the website can update as I do! :)
