|
Activities |
|
Outcomes |
|
Children: |
- Give the pupils a simple web page that includes a heading, a background colour, text, an image and a simple link between sections of the document. Ask the pupils to change various aspects of the document, demonstrating how the web authoring software converts to HTML.
- Explain to pupils how to use a relevant piece of software to:
- create headings and text
- create a background (colour or graphics)
- insert graphics
- create tables
- Explain to pupils how to use a common core of fonts and how to make decisions about structure.
|
|
- use software to create web pages
- use software tools to create features unique to interactive documents
|
|
Points to note |
- The teacher-produced page should include a heading, background colour, text, an image and simple links to other sections of the document. It should be controlled by a table.
- The type of software used will depend on the tools available within a particular school.
- Activities 2-4 might involve groups of pupils working together to link their pages.
- It is likely that more than one tool will need to be used. Pupils could consider the difference between a dedicated web publisher and a subset of functions within another software tool. Introduce pupils to the importance of naming conventions,
eg lower case, and to techniques of converting between GIF and JPEG files. Pupils will need to understand why these conversions are made,
eg transparency, number of colours.
