Introduction

We begin this session by showing you what's possible, both for creating Web pages and for communicating with your students via the Internet. Then we proceed to a hands-on, step-by-step workshop in which you learn and re-learn the steps you need to make and publish a web page, starting with a white piece of paper.

Interactive Web Pages (demonstrations)

Using forms and databases

        The ultimate in interactive Web pages
