CENTRE, COPY IT,CUT IT OUT (CONTROL-X) PASTE SAVE AND TEST YOUR PAGE IN THE BROWSER  

X. NOW WHAT?...
You now have the a rudimentary homepage...albeit as good as perhaps a million others already floating around on the World Wide Web.

The next step involves surfing around the InterNet looking for ideas for content and design which will help you put a personal stamp on your WebPage. You all have different interests, have different things to say, and have different ideas on how to express yourself.

Some of you may feel frustrated by the limitations of Netscape’s built-in editor and may wish to purchase a more powerful program such as Microsoft’s Front Page (it is also possible to download many such programs through the InterNet).

Others may forego the use of an editor completely and decide to learn HTML programming language...once mastered, this approach has the advantage of allowing you to create most of your page on a word processor.
(To see how your page looks in HTML, OPEN the VIEW MENU...
    ...then VIEW DOCUMENT SOURCE.)
There are many HTML tutorials available on the Net...there are many Links to such sources in the SCS WebPage.

When you are satisfied with the look of your page, contact the SCS Webmaster for assistance in placing your creation on the Net.. .possibly on the SCS CyberSchool WebSite or on a GeoCities address.

Displaying research projects in a WebPage format can be a terrific motivational and learning device for students of any subject. It is an excellent way to showcase the results of traditional research, as well as to integrate and facilitate multi-tasking and multi-media procedures. Students at any computer workstation, in any classroom throughout the entire school, may access all types of computer simulation & learning programs, CD-ROM Encyclopedia & Reference disks, paint & graphics programs, word processors, databases, and spreadsheets programs, as well as the unlimited potential of InterNet resources. Information gleaned from these electronic sources may be supplemented by the more traditional print and audio visual materials found in the classroom, library, and home.

THEN... OPEN THE FOLLOWING PROGRAMS...ONE UPON THE OTHER ON DESKTOP 

This technique will allow you to copy print and even graphics material from most of the reference sources you have opened into your Windows arena.

The above will even allow you to copy text from any Internet page. To copy backgrounds, graphics, buttons, lines -- and even midi sound features -- follow the following procedure: - Put your mouse pointer on the graphics element you wish to copy - Click the RIGHT button of your mouse - In the box which appears on screen choose “save image as” - Save to a folder of choice on C or A drive ... you can then import the graphic into your Netscape editor. 

To begin with, most students are interested in creating personal homepages. I usually give them a guideline like the one below (taken from netsKool 222 on the Strathclair CyberSchool Website at http://www.common.net/~soos/scs/) 

Your URL address (http\\www...) Your e-mail address An appealing background colour and texture A variety of fonts, borders, designs and layouts which express your personality Photos which could be scanned and imported into your page A well-written description of : your hometown your date and place of birth a short bio interests - hobbies - activities - sports your family your favourites (music, sports players/teams/events, books, entertainment...) some of your best artistic creations (stories, poems, sketches, etc.) A list of links to favourite Internet sites FAQ Credits 

SPORTS COLUMNIST: You are Olympic-award-winner Bobbie Rosenfeld. You are now a '30s sports columnist. Your job is to prepare daily newspaper columns about sports highlights, past and present.

ELECTRIC COMPANY ADVERTISING EXECUTIVE: You are the advertising exec of the Sparks Electric Company. Prepare a WebSite touting the advantages of the relatively new phenomenon -- ELECTRICITY -- and all the related new gizmos which are being invented to take advantage of it.

ENTERTAINMENT MOGUL: You are the owner of the Bijou Vaudeville and Motion Picture Theatre. You also manage a "slightly illegal" speakeasy in the basement of your entertainment complex. The success of your business depends upon your knowledge and promotion of all the entertainment happenings of the day -- movies, stars, entertainers, music, prohibition laws, etc.

LABOUR LEADER: You are the leader of the OBU and your job is to make public the plight of the common worker. You are very involved in rallies, overthrowing big business and government policies, and anything to give the worker more power and better work conditions.

RADIO STATION MANAGER: You are the station manager of the radio station WENN (Remember WENN). Your WebSite should include program schedules, current news releases, drama/comedy/variety scripts, bios on stars, program logs, etc.

PRAIRIE JOURNALIST :Your job as a journalist is to cover the effects of the drought and depression on the prairie farmers living in the dust bowl. Include features on the causes of this calamity and the effects -- lost farms, hunger, poverty, welfare, out-migration, fortitude, small pleasures, acts of heroism, etc.

To take full widespread, educational advantage of the many multi-media elements we have prepared, we envision the entire website -- along with the supplemental A/V material we have available -- being transferred to a CD-ROM format. Currently our site is designed to load quickly on all computers but could easily be adapted to a more graphical layout with tables, etc.

A modified version involves saving the entire site on a 3.5'' diskette (available upon request) and then loading it into the Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Explorer Browsers.

The CD-ROM or modified disketter version could then be used instructionally to simulate how one might design and set up a homepage...and then...do a virtual tour through all the related “rooms” and links -- just as can be done on the actual InterNet. All of this could be done without accessing the InterNet and thus by-passing the technology and funding which may be beyond the reach of some education situations. A library of fonts, backgrounds, buttons, lines, animations, and such related graphics could be included.

A tour of our WebSite and related multimedia components follows:

The Strathclair Community School WebSite has been launched on the InterNet Information Highway. As an extension of our ongoing dabblings in multi-media we are now linked to the millions of computers, world-wide, which make up the World Wide Web. Since much of the material has been created with the aid of the editor contained in Netscape Navigator v.3 Gold, the site is best viewed with that particular browser.

Our CyberSchool is accessed through the URL “door”
http://www.mts.net/~scs

Strathclair Community CyberSchool on the web makes use of quite an array of multi-media, and showcases the following “rooms” which almost everyone in the world can access. Each room features its own unique backgrounds, fonts, graphics and design.

ROOM DIRECTORY & MAIN FOYER Push the doorbell at the entrance to activate the school motto and Division credo which will immediately scroll across the message bar at the bottom of your monitor.

Since our school motto is “soaring towards the future” and our symbol is a “skyhawk” we tried to include images of hawks and blue open sky on the foyer walls. We were able to find and download components for both these graphics elements while surfing the InterNet. We then downloaded the program Paint Shop Pro which we used to modify and redesign the “skyhawk” -- bit by bit.

Upon entering the foyer you are soon met with the resounding strains of 2001 - A Space Odyssey which comes from a midi sound file and is, we believe, in keeping with our school theme.

Posted in the foyer is a directory of our CyberSchool’s 20 main rooms and an indication of the features offered by each of these areas. Your guide mouse will lead you down corridors to each of the rooms you choose. Keep in mind that most of the rooms provide access to many “branching-off” inner rooms.

SUMMARY OF MULTIMEDIA EMPLOYED IN THE FOYER: Telephone, e-mail, url, and street addresses ---Links to webmaster and the 20 other rooms in the CyberSchool----Paint Shop Pro-created skyhawk logo---Blue sky background downloaded from net---Midi sound files of 2001: A Space Odyssey---Counter to indicate number of visitors---animated scrolling mottoes---Netscape Navigator v.3 Gold browser and editor...
