Final Project (Web Site) Directions

Your final project is to be a web site that includes at least 3 new pages.  This "site" can be a brand new site or can add on to an existing site that you already have, but the pages you include must be new in that they did not exist before this week.  You may use the following venues:

  • Straight HTML tags
  • Creation of your own wiki
  • A Google website
  • Your school district website

 

I would prefer that the website be related to something you do at your school.  This can be your classroom, a team you coach, a group you advise, or something of the like.

 

Requirements of the site:

  1. Formatting of each page on the site should be consistent.
  2. Each page should contain relevant content.
  3. Each page should have at leat one (1) picture/image/graphic that has been optimized through Fireworks.
  4. One of the pages should have a list (it can be ordered or unordered).
  5. One of the pages should have a table.
  6. Each page should have multiple links.
  7. Each page should link to the other two pages.
  8. Each page should have a title.
  9. One page should use anchors.
