The Present Currently there are many web page creator programs. Many creators allow “point and click” creation, but you are limited in what you can add to your page. There are scripts that run on web pages now such as JAVA Script, which allow web pages to be more Interactive.

Uses of HTML in the Classroom l Basic survival – What if you don’t have an editor/creator program? l Problem solving exercises – Identify errors l Constructivist Theory of education – Students construct projects for posting to “Web” l Communication with students & parents through the use of web pages.

Are you Ready? I thought you would be. So in the spirit of Constructivist Educational Theory we will create a simple web page today using simple HTML “Tags”.

The Beginning What program to use? Notepad – Text editor Microsoft Word – Converts text to Hypertext, but you lose out on learning the “tags” So for our purposes today we will use Notepad or on some computers Wordpad.

Our First Tags l <html> - Declares that this will be HTML Web Page and can be viewed by a Web browser. (always the first tag and last tag </html>) l <head> - Defines header area of the page, not viewed by the Web browser. (</head> closing tag) l <title> - Used by Web searching programs to name your Web page. (</title> closing tag) l <body> - Determines content that will be viewed by your browser. (</body> closing tag)

Let us Begin Together Now that you have your text editor program open let’s get going. First let’s type our first tag, do you remember what it is? Second let’s put our heading tag in place.

Third please title your document. Next, let us get to the body/the meat of our page. Type a simple message here. Lastly – let’s close every all of our tags and save the page. Then let’s amaze one another by using our viewer to see what it looks like.

The Message The following tags can be used to emphasize your message. Let’s edit our previous document by using some of these tags. Don’t forget to close the tags. <h 1> - Actually h 1 – h 6 are used to change the size of default text h 1 is the largest and h 6 is the smallest. (</h 1> is the closing) - B is for bold ( is the closing) - I is for italicized text ( is the closing) - U is for underlining ( is the closing) Let’s save again and view our page. Amazing, your doing a great job.

Would you like some Color? You can use the following tags to colorize the background or text or links. <body bgcolor=“#ffcc 33” text=“#000000” Link=“#0033 ff” vlink=“#6600 cc” Alink=“#ffffff”> bgcolor= Background text = Text link = Hyperlinks vlink= Visited links alink= Active links (</body> is the closing) Let us go and change some colors, save and then view.
