Create a Teacher's Web Page
September 15, 2009
Objective:
Become familiar with the workings of HTML. Understand what is involved in creating a web page.
Learning Outcomes:
As a result of the lecture, demonstration, and lab practice regarding web page creation, students should be able to:
- Know what HTML is and recognize it
- Know what a WYSIWYG editor is and how to use it
- Know what a 'tag' and what an 'attribute' is
- Be able to create a link, an 'mailto', and insert an image into a web page
- Understand what is involved in having a web page hosted
- Understand what is necessary to upload a web page
Coursework Procedure:
Using Kompozer (or Dreamweaver if you have it available to you) to create a teacher's web page for yourself that contains the following components:
- A formatted heading at the top of the page.
- A picture of yourself (taken during class or provided by you)
- A link to your UEN web page (you should have signed up last class period)
- A short biography of yourself that is relevant to your teaching position
- A miniumu of three graphics you found on the Internet that will accent your page and is appropriate for a subject you will be teaching
- A contact link for parents to email you.
Keep in mind that an 'about you' web page is a professional document and should reflect your career position. It should lean more towards your teaching philosophy than revealing too much personal information. Remember, once you upload a web page to the Internet, anyone can read it. Prospective employers may 'Google' you to better understand you as an applicant.
Note: You need to create a folder for this assignment from the very start. Be sure that all elements of your assignment (like images) are in this folder. Then start the assignment as instructed in class. When you are finished, compress (or "zip") the folder and upload it to Blackboard or email it for credit.
Assignment Due:
You must complete your web page (.html) and upload it in a .zip file to Blackboard (or emailed to me as .zip file) by Tuesday, September 22, 2009.
