    2. Another alternative web editing software is Microsoft Publisher. It is not free, but it is the best web editing we have at Carmody especially by offering many fancy templates with artwork already in place for more creative designs.

    3. For specific lessons and learning objectives, students will create a web page each day a web site with either Netscape Composer or Microsoft Publisher that has a GUI interface with a predefined template. Students will insert there own text, artwork and photos where designated at: http://www.kuzmich.com/carmody/business/Demo_Web_Template.html
    4. For students who don't like doing daily web training assignment, here's an alternative using Netscape's Composer or Microsoft Publisher with options to learn by doing it rather than by studying it. Here are different options each worth 300 pages per web page.
    • First Real Business Web Site: Construct a web site in PageBreeze or Microsoft Publisher with table(s), artwork, articles, title and pictures. Topic: Your Favorite Topic. Click on the following template at: http://www.kuzmich.com/carmody/business/Demo_Web_Template.html and you will see what the web template looks like. You fill in the boxes with content and you have 300 pages earn. Must print out. Artwork and photos can be downloaded from the Internet plus there is a wealth of artwork on Drive S: on the school server. Go there, you go to Students folder, then to Kuzmich Assignments and then to folder entitled "artwork" and you about twelve different folders loaded with free artwork. Note: these folders can only be accessed from school and not on the Internet.
    • Second Real Web Site: Add a second page to the first web page by doing a link from the first page. Then design your own template using a 8 row table in much the same manner as: http://www.kuzmich.com/carmody/business/Demo_Web_Template.html Again, it worth 300 points if.... you follow the same rubric format as designed in the above template. But it has to be a different layout. It could be 2, 3, or 4 columns. Be sure all pages link back to the first page!!! So all pages are interactive and can be access from each other.
    • Third, Fourth, Fifth and Six Real Web Sites: Add them following the instruction for the Second Real Web Site above. 300 points for each addition page. It could even have different tables on the same page.
    • Extra-credit is available for at 100 points per web page beyond the sixth page. Unlimited extra-credit points are available!!

    HTML: Part 3: Week of 14 and Week 15 If Necessary

    1. Microsoft Publisher with a graphical interface (WYSIWYG) or GUI. will be used instead of Netscape Composer because it offers more creativity and ease of use.
