Creating our own professional web page

This week we faced a huge task, create a web page. I have always wanted to create one, and this is my opportunity to learn, I just wish I had more time to devote to this task. I'm pretty sure some of my classmates and I thought creating a web page required of programming knowledge, therefore the task was impossible for simple mortals like us. But it was neat to know there are free and easier ways to do it. 

At the beginning of the class we talked about what strategies we use to deal or keep up with technology, and I clearly stated I don't like to use tutorials or read manuals, I follow the approach trial and error, because I have some basic knowledge about computers and softwares. Nevertheless this task is different and will requirement to make use of such tutorials and manuals. I am so new to the topic that I don't feel comfortable going around a page and trying to play with the stuff I see. I don't even know where to start at when doing a web page, I don't know the terms, the requirements, I have no idea what can be done or how far we can go. This first class should have given us most answers to these gaps, we need to build the foundation of this topic in order to face it, and our instructor should address it in class, I hope it can be done next meeting, otherwise I am pretty sure this task will turn into a mission impossible.

So far I can ambition a teacher portfolio as content of my web page. That will be a great and more practical way for me to work on it. I don't really think I can finish my portfolio in the time that remains for this class, but for sure I will be delighted to add the URL of my web page to my resume.
