The club attracted students with varied levels of English language ability, and computer knowledge. The project has allowed us to teach students some basic computer skills, and it has given students an opportunity to see their writing presented in format somewhat more impressive than humble ink and paper. Students without computers have a chance to explore the internet, and practice some basic word processing. At least one is becoming a Photoshop addict, and I am looking forward to handing over the graphics department to him pretty soon. There are a lot of benefits I can see coming out of creating pages with students.
Students can practice basic skills like typing and working with computer applications.
Using a word processor or HTML editor where documents are displayed on the computer screen makes editing very simple. Students with different skills and levels of English ability can collaborate with each other. The prospect of communicating with the world can increase the level of motivation to write as well as possible. If you are thinking of having your students create web pages you will need to have access to a few computers, an internet service provider, and appropriate software. Knowledge of HTML code is very useful but not essential.
