The early uses of E-Mail and computer conferencing were pioneered by the Educational Technology program at the University of Alaska Southeast. Once you feel comfortable finding and evaluating information on the web, it's time to start thinking about creating your own web pages. Teachers sometimes use web pages for classroom management purposes. They create a page with links they want their students to visit, save the page to their hard drive, and set their browser to open to that page. That way they are helping students focus on the task at hand rather than allowing them to roam freely.
Teachers also have students create web pages to publish their work.
As you learned in previous readings, technology is effective when students construct their own learning and share it with others. There are many programs that help you create web pages. Also, you should be careful to observe copyright law and help your students do the same. So, before you start to create your page, look critically at pages on the web. Develop a list so that you know what to do and what to avoid when you make your page.
