Web Page Building

Creating a web page can be intimidating and make you want to run in the opposite direction, but there are many sites out there that provide step-by-step tools to help guide you in building your very own web page. Web pages can be used for multiple purposes, for example, school web pages. Educators and faculty members use school web pages to connect with students, parents, and other members of the school board to post updated news and activity announcements.

"Creating a web page can be as basic as typing information into a single online form." - Lauren Goldberg, "How to Build Your Own Web Page"

Through these sites you will be guided on how to enter text, add links, upload pictures, learn how to post homework assignments, update calendar dates, and highlight school activities.

There are many benefits to having a web page. For example, if you are using it for your classroom it can provide parents and students with information. Everybody today uses the computer for one reason or another, whether it may be to check your e-mail, write a paper, create a PowerPoint presentation, or to simply google something. It will forever be part of our lives and adding this form of technology to our classroom, where half the children know how to access and use a computer would be great.

Web page building can be a fun project to take on, plus you can learn something new and be that much more technology savvy because you have mastered how to create a web page with neat gadgets, links, educational information, photos, etc.

Creating a web page does take time, practice, and patience, but so do many things we try to accomplish and succeed at in life. Why not try it out, you never know what can come of it, but also remember to be wise of what you post and puiblish because it can only come back to haunt you if you allow it to.
