Reflection
When I first started to think about what topic I would use for this digital museum, I thought back about my elementary school experience and what specific events or topics stood out in my mind. I remember being interested in the Boston Tea Party when I was younger and decided to dive back in to this topic and refresh my memory. Although I had learned about the Boston Tea Party in school, I did not know about all of the details of the taxes and really why they protested against the British. This project gave me a whole new perspective on the topic.
Building the website was interesting also. I have used Weebly once before for one of my grad school courses but I used it in a different way. I did not create a whole website with different tabs. This has taught me skills that I will use from now on in the future while creating different projects for my classes when I am a teacher.
