Creating Web Pages

This term in our ICT lessons, we will be creating a web page with a partner to show off our research into World War II.  We will be using  Google sites for this and considering the following:

• looking at a range of websites and evaluating them
• using mind mapping software to record and share our evaluations and thoughts
• edit pages to create a website
• cropping and resizing photos and images  to put on our web page.
•  taking pictures of our own work and uploading them onto the website
•  developing our skills in selecting pictures that complement our research and development
• We will be thinking about finding the right image, discussing web publishing issues, digital citizenship issues and Esafety issues
•  evaluating  our own websites against our own criteria.
