Hands-on Lessons

 

These lessons contain the how-to and click steps to accompany the principles and procedures described in Curriculum Webs. They show specifically how to use four popular software packages to create curriculum webs:

Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004

Adobe GoLive version 5

Microsoft FrontPage version 2003

Netscape Composer version 6.2

(Note: Composer does not perform many of the advanced features of the other packages and so some lessons are marked "not applicable" to Composer.)
