We learnt many important lessons by doing this project.We actually learnt that only when you fall you will learn to get up.We were
shocked one day to see that almost all we had done on our website had gone somewhere.But thankfully most of the matter was
there.Only then we learnt how to balance ourselves back.Our coach supported us very much.She has been coaching us day and
night.Our group does work even after 12 midnight to finish the work and all this because of the support of our dear Shephali ma'am.
We actually learnt how to be organised and do work in a systematic way.We made checklists of what we have add to our website and
checked the tasks day by day.Yhe pleasure when you tick even one task is so worthy.Initially, our concepts too about our topic were not
clear.In fact not at all clear.We learnt very well how to conduct a survey and interact in a proper way.
At the start we had started on Google sites.But the site did not look very aesthetic so, we changed to Weebly and we learnt a lot from
this experience too.
Technology is another important thing we learnt.Actually a lot.From basic artistic website building to some basic CSS.
This thing will also help all of us in the future when we have a lesson in our school or college as anything that is experienced and done
by oneself cannot at all be forgotten by them in their whole life.
Sometime we had to take leave from school to complete our work.
Many times we couldn't upload SWF flash files as they were big and we did not have weebly pro.We had shot a video about how
loanwords came into existence but we could not upload it to youtube as it was a HD video and was of 500MB.We tried compressing
etc.But compressing too was to take a long long time.Weebly offered that if you invite a friend to weebly it would give us Pro. We tried
that and we have got Pro now but many of the features like upload (SWF more than 20 mb and a video directly from your computer or
even sound).So we could not add some things we had planned.We also wanted to add a quiz.But that too was an SWF one got uploaded
(half baked). We weren't satisfied so, we learnt that we can make quizzes on PPT and the previous site we worked on had Google's
version of PPT and hence, we made those and then we also learnt to make buttons to hyperlink to the games.
'Necessity is the mother of invention' but in our case it became 'necessity is the mother of learning'.As we learnt hyperlinking buttons
making a quiz on PPT etc. We also learnt to add background music with HTML as we could not use the weebly's feature for doing so.
We also couldn't meet up many times due to school work which bound us.
Sometime we have also left our homework and
assignments.But as we have earlier said only when you fall, you will learn to get up, we learnt how to get up.We learnt a lot of 'Cyber
creativity' and all.
We have really learnt a lot
from this and thanks to Shephali ma'am and Thinkquest.
