CREATING YOUR STUDENT WEBSITE THROUGH WEEBLY
Your student website will serve as your personal page to showcase the work you make in class, as well as turn in assignments and projects. We will turn in projects two ways in this class: JPEG images through your Weebly website and high resolution TIFF or PSD files through your Google Drive Folder that you have shared with me.

5. Once you have created your subdomain, you will begin building your website. For this class, your website needs to include the following pages:
- PROJECTS
This is where you will showcase your completed projects in this class. - ASSIGNMENTS
This is where you will post your in-class assignments (as instructed by me) for this class. - BLOG
A blog is like an online journal—great for taking notes or posting things that you find interesting/sources of inspiration. You can also post your work in progress here. This is up to you—be creative! - ABOUT
Here, I would like you to write a short paragraph telling us about yourself. This is called your biography. You can include a sentence about who you are, what grade you are in, where you are from, what your hobbies and interests are, etc. You will update this in class as the course progresses.
6. Once you are finished, make sure to click PUBLISH in the top right hand corner of the page. This publishes your site so that everyone can see it. Any changes you've made will now be visible. You must choose PUBLISH each time you make changes in order for those to be visible.
