Is the focus on using webpages to share curriculum content or is the
focus on learning html and web design?
Using some of the web page software, even first graders can create
decent webpages without really having to know anything about webpages or
even technology. The focus is all on the curriculum, and the software
creates the pages for them.
If the focus is on webpages, do you want them to focus on design (the
non-technical part - how pages are laid out, size and type of text,
where images should do, best place to put in links, etc.) or on the
actual coding of webpages (the technical part)? If technical, do you
want them to code from scratch or use templates and be able to look at
code created by the program and change it?
