• Utilize appropriate style, theme, and use of color; add images, and create and add a bulleted list/numbered list.
3. Main Task Part 2: Reflection
For this final task, write a reflective paper on the experience of creating a website, including in your paper the URL of your website. Present some thoughts as to why your website would be useful to your colleagues at your school and parents, your experience with the designing of your website, the application/method you used to design your site, and your location and method of uploading it to the web.
Reflective Paper: 2-3 pages, not including the cover sheet or reference page
References: A minimum of 3 scholarly resources is required. You MUST include the textbook, Morrison, G. S. (2011). Fundamentals of Early Childhood Education (6th ed.). Upper Saddle River, NJ: Pearson, as one of the resources.
Your website and reflection paper should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts that are presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect graduate-level writing and APA standards.
