Home pages can convey an activity, information, or idea. Home pages can have either a topic or individual focus. A topic focused home page presents a class activity, project, or information that the school and student are exploring. Charlottesville students will learn to use topic Web pages to convey ideas and to communicate effectively with others. Charlottesville students and teachers will not use school resources to post personal home pages.
Web pages can include only text or, as mentioned above, they can also include graphics.
Using graphics sometimes makes it easier to present information and makes the information itself more interesting. Because they will be creating Web pages that depict school activities and projects, students will at times include pictures of themselves or other students within a document. In these instances, picture captions or references will identify the activity or class and will not identify students individually by name. Such pictures will illustrate the activity and will not present portraits of the individual students. If the document text does include the name of a student, only the first name of the student will be used.
