Knowledge of HTML is an asset in today's Internet world. Teachers need to dedicate themselves to learning HTML alongside or one step ahead of their students. The prepared projects are simple and can lead to curricular related web page creations. The site is laid out well. Teachers may wish to work through each project themselves before introducing this to a class. The necessary resources and reference materials are all included on this site.

Description:

Web Monkey provides a child friendly guide for creating web sites. Students create projects and post reports online, while learning HTML, the language of the Internet. This site provides the lessons, project guides, tools and some fun activities. From the website: "The purpose of Webmonkey for Kids is to show children what's possible with the Web and teach them how to begin creating their own sites. "The best starting place is the Lessons section, which explains the fundamentals of HTML and Web design. While the Lessons are designed to be read in any order, depending on the knowledge of the reader, there is a definite progression from beginning to end. So if students are just starting out, it's best to begin with the Basics, which explains general concepts like what the Web is, how to plan the construction of a Web site and how files are exchanged between computers."

Possible uses:

Teach students HTML through this site and they can create web projects or post class reports. Teachers and parents can find information and guidance through the 'Planning Guide' pages. Students can explore the site and discover the tools. Classes can begin projects together and then individuals can work at their own pace. Students can become experts on a part of the process and teach it to their peers.
