This first artifact for this week focused on the different types of media that can be used on the Internet. I thought it was a great, descriptive tool that went into detail about how text, pictures, sound, and video are used on the web. The articles included a lot of information that will be helpful when I am creating my own website, especially when it tells what types of files everyone can access on the web. It would be sad to post a picture of the orchestra for the parents, only to find out that Tommy's parents couldn't see it!
The second article discussed sound files. It discussed the strengths and weaknesses of compressing files: while more people can access it faster, they will receive a lower quality sound file. As a musician, I will most likely someday have a website which includes audio files of myself. I will be able to pull up this article again, and look at the helpful tips it includes, such as posting both higher and lower resolution files. I really liked this article because I feel it addressed things that I might not have thought of, until it became a problem for me. I plan on referring to this article in the future, when I create a website for myself or my school program.

There is no way to be assured that you will be able to post something and know that all the parents will be able to access it. Even if they remember to check the site, there may be some glitch that will prevent them from getting to the information. Some parents might gain computer access at the library. Teachers must be careful in assuming that every parent will have proper computer hardware and software available to them.
