This class will focus on the development of Web pages by and for students and teachers. It will also include how students can publish their own work on the Internet and integrate their web sites into the life of the classroom and the school. We will visit web sites created by students, teachers and schools as we consider the pedagogical issues of publishing online. The class will also identify technical HTML resources suitable for classroom use. We will learn the basics of HTML and explore advanced features such as tables, forms, and the use of JavaScript. Given the graphical nature of the World Wide Web, there will be an emphasis on design and processing digital images using PhotoShop, scanners and digital cameras.
