Women In Technology
Introduction
The objective of today is to have fun (and maybe to learn a little about the exciting world of Information Technology). We will be experimenting with building a web page. For some of you, this will be the first time you have done this. For others, this may be nothing new. We have a number of things for everyone to do, from the very first steps, to some pretty advanced stuff. Go at your own pace, and remember to ASK QUESTIONS!! To Build Your Web Page: You and your table will choose a topic for your page. Some suggestions are listed a little further on in this booklet, but feel free to do what YOU want. Look at the clipart for ideas. On paper, write out what you want to say about your topic. Write as much or as little as you think necessary. Think about the colours and the graphics you may use, and how you want your page to look. Take a look at the different tasks in the book. Everyone at your table will choose a couple to try. One person will have to get the page started, using the first few tasks listed. Everyone else can choose anything they want. There is no limit to the graphics or links you include, the text you enter, or the formatting you choose. Start on the computer. Your facilitator will help you get started, and will make sure everyone gets a turn. After about an hour on the computer, everyone should be finished with their tasks. Make sure your page looks just right, fixing it up as needed. We will take a quick look at the technology behind your pages, then each table will take a turn presenting their page. After the presentations, everyone will vote for their favourite page.
