  • Brief Description

        Sooner or later, many teachers and students want to create their own Web documents and publish them on the Web. Doing so requires some knowledge about Web documents, how they are created and maintained, and ways that these documents can be managed. This activity provides insight into different ways of creating and maintaining Web documents, including strengths and weaknesses of each option. This activity is a good starting point for teachers and students who wish to begin creating their own Web documents.

    Materials and Resources

        In developing our lessons and activities, we made some assumptions about the hardware and software that would be available in the classroom for teachers who visit the LETSNet Website. We assume that teachers using our Internet-based lessons or activities have a computer with the necessary hardware components (mouse, keyboard, and monitor) as well as a World Wide Web browser. In the section below, we specify any "special" hardware or software requirements for a lesson or activity (in addition to those described above) and the level of Internet access required to do the activity.

    1. Special hardware requirements: none.
    2. Special software requirements: none.
    3. Internet access: Medium-speed (28,800 BPS via phone) or higher.
