2. Have students visit three web sites for examples and ideas of web page design. Have each team assess each site using the web site assessment rubric. Share results from search and discuss elements of a good web design. Have teams sketch on paper a design for their web page. 3. Have students identify what they would need to know in order to build
their web pages.
4. Have students open Netscape Communicator and go to Netscape Composer
(or other HTML editor). Identify the tools in the tool bar and their functions. As a group,
create a basic "Home" page with table and image for your site. Show students how to create a folder
and save. Allow students time to experiment with the HTML editor. Have students create a folder for
their work and save.
5. Discuss acquiring images for your site. Visit Web
Monkey and complete lesson
C - Dealing With Images under "Learning HTML". Before allowing students to search
for images on the internet, see the internet
article
by Carol Simpson and discuss internet ethics. Then visit a graphics
site and read and discuss the policy for use. After that, have students select an online search engine
- we used Google- and identify what images they will be looking for. Students will now search the internet
for those images and save them to their folders.
6. Discuss the page assessment rubric with students. Have them create their pages and assess their progress as they work. 7. Schedule times to visit with each team to individually assess and instruct depending on page requirements. 8. When all individual pages are completed, bring students together to upload and assess the site. Email Technology experts for their assessment. Use rubric to assess. Identify problems and make changes as needed. 9. Send an invitation to all classroom teachers through inter-school email to visit your site. 10. Assist students with receiving and inputting email submitted reviews. 11. Assist students with conducting two voting polls and posting the results on the site. (For more details, see "Special Internet Projects") 12. Assist students with scheduling and monitoring chat sessions. 13. Have students collect data from the final vote and post the information on the site. Post the winners. 14. As a culminating activity, have students complete a digital diary page
to assess their learning and make suggestions for next year's team.(For more details, see "Special Internet Projects")
