Section Four: - Learning to link.

Before we can complete this section, you will need to find some interesting sites on the Internet that relate to your responses to each of questions #'s 2 - 5 above. Once you have selected your interesting sites, be sure to record the name and URL (Internet address) of each site.

Example:

I am Carolyn O. Burleson, Digital High School Coordinator at Lincoln High School. I am especially interested in discovering how the technology of the Internet will impact upon the teaching/learning process as well as upon the way we will relate to one another in the Twenty-first Century. I also work for LAUSD Instructional Technology Branch training District employees on the use of the Internet and its applications/implications for education, as well as how to integrate technology applications into the curriculum as instructional tools.

I have come to this class to teach you how to create web pages. This skill will enable you to make use of the Internet for expanding your lessons and your students' learning base. If I can be of assistance to you, feel free to drop me a line by e-mail.

Creating External Links:

1. Highlight the word(s) or image that you want to link to a site on the Internet.

2. Click on the  icon on the toolbar.  In the dialog box that appears, type in the URL of the site you want to link. The word(s) will appear in your text as blue, underlined letters (see above). This lets you and the viewer know that more information can be accessed by clicking on the hypertext.

3. Click on the  icon to save your work.

4. Click on the  icon to view your work and check your links.

Creating "Target" links. This is for linking images and text within the same page or to a particular section of another page within your own web.

3. Highlight the text or image that you want to link 'from.' Then click on the  button. When the dialog box appears, select from the list of named targets in the current page.

4. Save your work.
