[Year 12 IT Apps] Web Page Design Software

[Margaret Lawson]

In the past I have encouraged students to show images of the 
forums/blogs/wiki's that they might want to use in their web site if it 
were fully functional and then to explain how it might suit the online 
community.  That way the students need to go out and actually take a 
look at what is operating out there in "real life" and then ascertain if 
that forum/blog/wiki is appropriate for their online community.
