I teach in an elementary school and we wanted our teachers to develop more of a web presence for our school. I used Wanda's book to instruct the teachers how to build classroom web pages. This book gave them all the basic information they needed about the web, html, gifs and animated gifs. Then, when the teachers worked in a web editor, they had some concept of how it worked. This book is a must for schools just developing a web site or teachers trying to develop pages for their class. I believe our 4th and 5th graders could use it to learn to create web pages.

My parents bought me this book. It has been a huge help in creating my own web site. It's easy to follow and understand! Web site building is really lots of fun - I can't believe it was so easy too! Go Wanda -- Thanks for the help!

Wanda Wigglebit's Building A School Web Site is the ideal "how to" guide for anyone wanting to create a website for their class or school but don't know how. Teachers and their students are provided with a hands-on project with "user friendly" and accessible instruction that covers every aspect (HTML, web editors, standards, bandwidth, search engine placement, animation, etc.) of building a school website. If you are inexperienced with developing and operating a website for your class or school, then begin by a careful reading of Wanda Wigglebits' Building A School Web Site!

Children are amazing when learning new things in general and computers in particular. My three elementary school children recently were rewarded with their own computer and they now do routine typing and organization for my business. Children also enjoy building things and seeing how they work. One of the most fascinating things they can now explore are web pages. In this book, children are taken through a series of steps illustrating the basic ideas behind the construction of a web page. The lessons are well written and can easily be followed by children in fourth grade or higher.

The title may be a bit misleading, in that it is not a set of instructions demonstrating how to build a web page for a school, but lessons in how to build a page at school. However, the lessons will keep the interest of the child as they learn the basics of web pages from a teacher who knows how to relate to the young, impressionable mind. My children enjoyed it.

Now I'm going to make sure I wasn't billed for it since I never received it.
