Students use the Internet under teacher supervision. Parents are asked for permission to place student work and pictures on the Internet normally without complete student names. It is expected that students' work will contain mistakes and student web products are always considered work in progress. Students' work is like a living document which is being changed as they learn more. Therefore, publishing students' work does not mean that their teachers excuse students' errors.
Web pages emphasize inventiveness, creativity, and original ideas.
Student work stimulates discussion. If the work had to be perfect, students would be turned off from trying and teachers would not have the opportunity to use the Web pages to increase students' self esteem. While large groups of students are being introduced to the World Wide Web, we have found that each school is developing groups of students who are especially proficient in utilizing the Web and can mentor other students. Most students get hooked on HTML creation and find ways to get out of other classes to finish their web pages. Lesson plans tend to feature homepages that are made by groups of students but each of the schools has given individual students and opportunity to create their own homepages.
