Upload that page to the internet

Feel comfortable maintaining that page outside of this classroom

Tools

knowledge of HTML, the web page language

– Microsoft Frontpage (free at the computer labs)

File Transfer Protocol (FTP) tool– Allows you to move your web page and all the web

page info to the place on the internet where it can be seen

– FTP Commander (free on the web)

Microsoft Frontpage

“My Documents” and create a directory of your group’s name

Save the file in Frontpage as index.html

Microsoft Frontpage – it’s just like Microsoft Word
