First Class Web Publishing allows the user to upload files to
be
viewed on the web. For the most part, this feature is a
storage
place for files you create and import or upload. This web
page, for
instance, was created by downloading a template from Open
Source Web Design and then edited in a WYSIWYG
editing program called Nvu.
Once you edit your page it can be imported or uploaded into
your First Class Web Publishing folder and is then
viewable by anyone with access to the Internet and the specific url
that guides the user to your site.
Web publishing has been made easier via tools like blogs and
wikis.
A page like you see here is static and remains the same until
the
publisher makes changes. Interactive features can be added to
static web pages, but blogs and wikis are more dynamic and
collaborative. With that said, there are specific purposes in
having a web page and site when you want to share constant information
that does not change much over time. Classroom notes, links
to
tutorials and other resources, specific assignments and activities, and
a classroom agenda are all examples of resources
that would
be well served with a web page or site such as you see here.
