Synopsis
Most students are familiar with the Web, but few are familiar with the primary underlying technology that makes it possible: HTML. A Kid's Guide to Creating Web Pages for Home and School is designed for those who have grown up with computers and want to move beyond the basics of “canned” Web 2.0 applications.
Written by a kid for kids, this book leads students step-by-step through the basic functionalities of HTML, all with an inquisitive, friendly tone that encourages experimentation. Each section focuses on a specific project and includes sample computer screens to demonstrate the basic site being developed.
Once practiced and learned, the individual projects and lessons are integrated into a single Web site that can be published on the Web. Also included are more advanced techniques for Web page design, including sound, animation, and the uses of Javascript, Java, and Flash, as well as off- and online resources for readers to investigate.
Grades 5-10
