This was a fun project to work on! I love the computer and could sit and work on it all day! However, there are still a lot of things I don't know how to do. Children on the other hand seem to naturally take to anything that deals with technology and the computer is no exception. Let's Make a Web Page! eBook was created to help your 8-12 year old child learn how to create a web page of his own. All I can say is that Phyllis really knows what she's doing and how to present it in a very easy format to follow. Older children will have no problem following this book to create a web page on their own. Younger children will need some assistance form their parents but will still learn a lot.
There is an introduction for the parents that explains how to download a trial version of a program that is needed to complete the web page. Each lesson is well written and contains actual pictures of the program you will be using. This is so nice for the visual learner! She also addresses safety issues on the internet and gives several ways to search safely. There was a free way to do this that I was not even aware of! There are also safe sites given to go and look for images.
Here is a list of some of the things your child will learn to do throughout the tutorial:
From the moment you open this eBook, any fear you have of not being able to teach your child how to create a web page is gone. I was very impressed with this eBook and really enjoyed it. My son and I sat down and created a web page in 2 days time. He learned a lot and was proud of his page when we were done. If this is something your child is interested in doing or you would like to teach your child, I would highly recommend trying this book!
