Hello everybody:

I currently teach technology applications at a middle school in
Houston, Texas. This is my 4th year teaching basic computer literacy.
We learn about what goes on inside the computer as well as some of the
regular software programs like Excel and PowerPoint. The students also
learn about the World Wide Web.

What we tried to do was teach them first how to make a vanilla web
page. We then expanded on this by adding modifications to the code.
Using some free goodies from royalty free websites allowed us to do
some pretty cool things! This includes javascript and sites that
provide free color 'swatches'. The students really enjoyed making these
websites! We're thinking about incorporating Dreamweaver into our
advanced class, only AFTER they went through the HTML segment!

The web pages are located at:

Let me know what you think!

P.S. PLEASE Forgive me for not updating the About Me section of my
website! (I'm trying to figure out what I want to say. February
2006???? )
