Description
Develop a Web site related to your profession.  For example:

• A teacher might create a website for his/her class
• A media specialist should maintain a Media Center website, which should ultimately house all documents needed by patrons (selection policy, student handbook, teacher handbook, etc.)
• A graduate student might create a portfolio in preparation for exit exams and for job applications
• A media specialist might create a "pathfinder" to help patrons work with specific resources

Purposes

• To  learn basic principles of Web design
• To evaluate related resources
• To create a professional Web presence for on-the-job use.

• Homepage:
• greeting
• graphic
• purpose statement
• author identification and email contact
• indication of content (e.g., table of contents, site map, etc.)
• date
• 5 internal pages (including Homepage), all visually unified with some repeated visual elements
• 10 external links (implying that you have evaluated these sites)

• If you have a UGA MyID, you are all set.  If not, contact Arches (www.arches.uga.edu) to set up an account to host your website. However, your resource may be hosted anywhere, except for Yahoo or some other service that adds a lot of advertisement and uses proprietary procedures.  (I love Yahoo, but not for this!)
• Explore!  Look around at other websites for ideas, organization schemes, layout, and links.
• Watch your web site space limit and download times.  Photographs are the usual culprit here - if you use them, they must be compressed first.
• Obey all applicable laws and policies (including UGA acceptable use and copyright).
• With this assignment, it's easy to create a minimal site and be done.  For beginners, that might be appropriate, because the first one is difficult.  If you are more experienced, I expect to see some development in your abilities.  It's difficult to express this expectation on the rubric.
