'Hassle free' websites for the Middle Years 5 -9: A template approach

Ensure you have a version of Dreamweaver on your laptop - it can be downloaded on a 30 day basis from www.adobe.com

An inservice for all teachers who wish to develop websites quickly for their students utilizing the many designs found with freely available templates. This inservice assumes no prior knowledge.

We want to get a web site up and running, yet we are short of time. This is the situation faced by Emad Attie with his classes at St Monica's in Epping.

Emad has devised a strategy based on a series of shareware templates using Dreamweaver and Photoshop as the applications to put the website together. (A trial version of Dreamweaver and Photoshop can be downloaded from the Adobe website)

In this very practically focused professional learning day, you will join Emad in the morning to construct the framework of your website, and in the afternoon complete the development of your site specific to the needs of your class or school. Other templates will also be explored which can form the foundations of a website using Photoshop, Flash or Frontpage.

The techniques learned during the day can be taken directly back to your classroom. A practical, curriculum focused, hands-on and enjoyable day! By the end of the afternoon, you will have the confidence to develop professional websites with your classes in 2010.

Bring your own laptop and any school based resources that could be used in your site. Especially useful for teachers of Years 5 -10
