Day 1 went well. There were a number of demos of technologies/resources all of which were new to me. After seeing some of the demos, there was time to work with the various tech. I found that I really like using moonfruit.com and weebly.com, but really do not like yola.com for building websites.
While experimenting with both moonfruit and weebly I learned about the strengths and hinderances of each. Moonfruit allows me a greater amount of control over the design of the site as well as allowing the restrict access to certain areas of the site. However, moonfruit limits the number of pages on the free version to fifteen. Because of this, I had to find a way of hosting documents online and linking to them. I decided to use Google Docs. It seems to be working well. Weebly is very easy to use, and I like some of the layouts. However, moonfruit seems to have more options which is ultimately what I am looking for online. I am really excited to continue to work on the website.
Twitter is proving to be difficult. I have spent a lot of time trying to setup several different pieces of it and not necessarily getting veray far with it. One example is that I am having a rediculously difficult time locating my classmates.
