Social Studies Web Site

We will create a Website to help the students in our class with homework assignments and learning topics more in depth. We will be placing the homework assignments on the site, and there will be tools to help students in their search for more knowledge.

We explored the different Web authoring programs to create a website. We showed our teacher the choices and made a joint agreement to use Tripod.com. We picked a layout from the offered templates. Working with the template layout we added our data to the space available. We then we showed the site to our teacher and we worked out all the bugs. We then posted the site on to the World Wide Web. We continue to monitor the website and make changes.
