Objectives:

 

• Demonstrate basic skills in web authoring using FrontPage 2003 ®
• Develop a coordinated and interlinked set of web pages (in one folder) to educate others on what was learned during a portion (to be defined) of the summer institute.
• Incorporate a jpeg or gif file made through Inspiration® 7.0 into one of the web pages or a PowerPoint presentation on several of these web pages.
• Using the web pages, present to an audience what was learned during a portion of the summer institute.
• Build the main presentation web site showing various components of the inquiry experience; therein, incorporate and link through a “presentation home page” several individual students’ folders/respective web pages (Teachers).

Content:

Basic web authoring skills using FrontPage 2003 ® comprise the content. Subject matter used for the construction of the web pages is derived from the Biomedical component experiences (including Math) during the entire week. Additionally, content includes the utilization of other technology tools to make web pages: Digital Camera images; Inspiration® 7.0 to make images for web pages; and/or conversion of a PowerPoint presentation into web pages. Content for teachers serving in a web mistress/master role also includes (a) utilizing a digital camera and (b) defining a web site and the utilization of several sets of web pages (individual students’ folders) to make one large coordinated website and presentation.

 

Materials & Handouts Needed:

1 computer per individual containing template of an index page and selected images; 1 floppy disk per student; 1 CD-R/RW or JumpDrive per web master/mistress/teacher; 1 digital camera per teacher; release forms for any adult photographed; two “Creating a web site using FrontPage 2003” handouts per individual.

Procedures/ Activities:

 

1. Orient teachers and students to defining and building a robust presentation web site for their “inquiry experience.”

 

2. Examine the focus of the 8 to 9 small group presentations and choreograph (assign) what each student will contribute (web pages) as part of his/her small group.

 

3. Provide basic training on web authoring following the “basic web authoring” handout.

 

4. Construct a small group web site (teachers).

 

5. Finalize, practice and present each small group website.

Notes: The teacher will be in charge of the digital camera (or assign one group member to do so) during the week. Photographs should not include HSTA students whose parents have not signed a release form. Photographs of any adults need to be accompanied by an Adult release form.

Ideas for Teacher Follow-up in HSTA Clubs and/or Secondary Classrooms:

• Develop or expand HSTA Club web site
• Place class assignments on-line
• Develop resource web site for students and parents
