This grade seven project requires students to use the templates provided and an HTML editor to add content, in this case Claris Home Page.
My templates include a frameset menu on the left side. So, the kids don't have to worry about creating the menu, etc. in this case. They just add the contents to each page, and save with the same file name that I created, so all the links work.
The final step today was to create a start-up web page for the subject teacher. She just has to open up this web page from the school server, find the student's name on the list and BINGO, their web site opens up! She is planning to use the projector in her classroom and have the students present their research on the big screen, with NO PAPER.
What's the next logical step? I think it is to go beyond the written word and static images of these web pages, into the realm of sound and motion. For example, create a Tour Guide character who takes you on a tour of your country. Record voice messages that will playback on the web page when clicked, etc.
