HTML - Just released!!

Here is another complete unit of work for your pupils. This is a complete, structured program of lessons ideal for pupils of all abilities. We take pupils through the steps needed to produce their first website using HTML, showing and telling them what to do as they watch and listen. Pupils will make a five-page website, complete with formatting options, internal, external and picture links, music, video and special effects using javascript. We show pupils how to get help when they are stuck and where to go for ideas on developing their HTML knowledge and their websites. This work will give pupils the knowledge and confidence to produce their own websites in the future and to modify ones that use applications when those applications don't behave in the way they expect!

We use Notepad and Firefox, both freely available to students. We also show pupils how to use other browsers such as Explorer.

We aim to save teachers valuable time. All of the lesson preparation and planning has been done for you in this set of tutorials.

This is screendump of the main menu that greets your pupils. There are 16 lessons in total. Each one lasts between about three and nine minutes.
