OBJECTIVES:

Students will use the Web Page Wizard to design their own web page.

Students will format the look of their page with bullets, text color, background pattern
and color, and horizontal images.

Students will insert at least 3 hypertext links onto the web page.

Students will save the page under a filename they choose.

Students will edit their web page to continue to add details and improve design.

Students will learn to insert images from remote web sites.

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.

in pairs or teams.

Once students are comfortable with designing using the Wizard, they will be encouraged
to build a page on their own without the prompting or limitations that the Wizard
contains.
