BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

In a world of ever changing technology, the hottest innovation is designing web pages. This is a skill that can be used as a career, to enhance a career, to learn to express individual interests and hobbies, and to enhance learning by making "topical" web pages for class assignments. This will give my students another edge to their future.
