Module 2, Activity 4.5 - Making Web Pages
Student Page
(teacher lesson for this page)

Introduction:

You learned the basics of web design and started planning your site in Wading through the Web. Now you are ready to start learning about how to make that web site.

Activities:

Task One - Tutorial
You will likely have access to one or more web authoring tools through your school, or you may have some hand coding skills. Because each school and each individual may have different access to hardware or software, no one tutorial is suggested here.

Activity Two - Authoring Your Site
Now that you have planned your site and used a tutorial to polish your skills, you are ready to start designing. Remember as you save pages to put them all into one folder on the hard drive or network so that they are easy to find and easy to FTP to the internet or save to CD. While you are developing your pages, refer back to the steps on the the planning page, Wading through the Web.
