Hi,

I was wondering how many of you are teaching basic webpage design to
your middle school kids.

If you do teach it (either as part of an integrated curriculum unit, or
as a separate course), can you let me know what software you are using?

We are a PC school, so iWeb and Rapidweaver are out. I would love to
use an Open Source solution that has a gui interface but also allows
students to see and edit the code itself. I use Dreamweaver myself, but
the cost and learning curve are more than I want to use right now with
my middle school students.

Thanks,
