Student Web Site Builder

Encourage students to learn Internet Technology

What is it?

The Web Site Builder is a web application that allows elementary school students to build their own web sites without requiring any web design experience. Teachers create accounts for students in their classes. Each student can login to the web site and create their site by selecting options and filling in forms on web pages. A site can be created in less than 15 minutes.

How it works:

Building a web site is a simple three step process:
Step 1 - Select a theme: Students select one of 24 pre-designed themes that define the colors, graphics and navigation for their site.
Step 2 - Edit web site pages: Students can create a home page and two additional pages for their site. Each page can have a title, multiple paragraphs of text and pictures. Pictures can be selected from a pre-loaded library or students can upload their own pictures.
Step 3 - Publish the site: After the first two steps are completed, students can publish their web site.

Security fully controlled by teachers:

The web builder program is designed to run on a district’s Intranet so that access is restricted to staff and students within the schools in the district. In addition, only teachers can create student logins and all student sites must be approved and activated by their teacher before other students can view their site.

Requirements:

• Windows 2000 Server with school network
• Internet Information Services 5 (IIS)
• Microsoft SQL 7 or 2000
• ASP Upload component
• Remote dial-up access for setup and installation
