Creating Access of your Activity

So now you need to get this hyperlinked document to your learners. You have three options!

Your first option is to post it on the Internet:

Create an HTML File

Netscape: If you have Netscape4+ just go into the compose section. Type in or cut and paste you text (you may create your guided tour in your word processor and then copy and paste). Netscape works like a wysiwyg (What you see is what you get) word processor. It composes the HTML code behind the scenes. It isn't the best code, but it is simple to do. Highlight text and/or titles and click on the buttons to increase fonts, change colors, and format. Highlight text (the name of the link or the URL) and use the simple clicks on the link buttons to enter the URL link (be accurate). Use right mouse clicks to set background colors, etc. or avoid the buttons and do all of the above operations from the drop down menus.

Word: Word will convert your documents into HTML files for you. However, please remember that the HTML conversion will not support sophisticated formatting such as tabs and columns. Use tables to align objects.
Post Your Web Page
1. Save your web page to your hard drive or to a floppy. When you wish the students to look at the web page have them up your browser. (Remember your hypertext links will not work unless your have an Internet connection)
2. Contact your Webmaster or systems administrator to arrange to have your web page posted to the Internet.
3. Use a free page service:
  1. Free web space may be available through your commercial provider as part of your service fee. Check with AOL or other provider.
    
    There are sites that allow you to post your web site free:
    1. Free Yellow http://www.afreewebsite.com/
    2. Xoom http://xoom.com/home/
    3. Tripod http://www.tripod.com/
    4. Geocities http://www.geocities.com/
    5. Web 66 http://web66.coled.umn.edu/
    6. SchoolNotes.com http://www.SchoolNotes.com
    7. Homeroom.net http://www.homeroom.net
    8. SNET Free School Web Hosting http://www.snetweb.com/school/index.shtml
    9. HomeMaker Online http://www.kn.pacbell.com/wired/homemaker

Your second option is to put your word processed scavenger hunt on each computer for use by the students.

This may not be as grueling as it sounds! If you have a server in your building, the document can be “pushed” onto each machine from the server. Ask your building tech person for assistance.

Your third option is to put your word processed scavenger hunt on each computer floppy disc belonging to individual students.

Simply copy your scavenger hunt document (by dragging onto the disc icon or folder) onto each individual student disc.
