Website Design

Students will work in groups to create a website around a central topic of the teacher's choosing that reinforces core curriculum standards. Topics can be drawn from social studies, science, math, or language arts. Students will begin by researching and writing about the topic of their websites. Professional design artists will then develop students' core competencies in the principles of design. Next, students will learn the basics of photography as they collect images for their websites. Simple website design software and templates will empower students to easily design their websites without complicated code. Friends and family will be able to access the websites online. Progressive Arts Alliance will provide Macintosh laptops and desktop computers for students to use.
