ASSIGNMENTS & EXERCISES (p. F.19)
1. FINDING FREE IMAGES AND BACKGROUNDS ON THE WEB To insert and use images and
backgrounds, you don’t necessarily need to scan them yourself. Literally thousands of
Web sites provide free images and backgrounds. Connect to the any sites that provide
free images and answer the following questions: A how do you download an image? B
Do you have to register at the site first before downloading images? C What categories
of images can you find? D Because there are so many sites offering free images, why
would anyone want to scan their own?
2. BUILDING A NUMBERED LIST OF LINKS In this module, we demonstrated to you how to
combine various HTML tags such as bolding and underlining. There are many ways in
which you can combine HTML tags to create a powerful presentation. One such way is to
create a list (either numbered or unnumbered) of useful links. Go to the Web site and find
five job databases (Monster.com is one). Now create a small Web site that provides the
links to those five Web sites. You are to present those links in the form of a list.
DISCUSSION
We won’t show an entire Web site here.
3. MAKING MODIFICATIONS TO FIGURE F.1 Figure F.1 on page 3 contains some very
interesting information, but it does not include any links to other related Web sites and it
contains only one image. You have two tasks here. First, connect to NASA’s Web site,
download another astronomy image, and insert it into Figure F.1. Your second task is to
provide links to the main Web site for each of the six listed states. So, the state names
should all be links that will take the person viewing your site to each state’s respective
Web site.

DISCUSSION
Inserting another image will not be a difficult task for your students.
4. BUILDING A WEB SITE WITH MICROSOFT WORD You can build a Web site in a variety of
ways. You can use a simple text editor, such as Notepad, as we did in this module. You
can use powerful Web authoring tools such as Microsoft FrontPage. And you can also use
Microsoft Word. To use Microsoft Word, you create a Word document, insert images, and
provide all the necessary formatting just as if you were creating a standard Word
document. Then, you save the Word document as a Web page. Go through this process
for creating a simple Web site with at least one image, some text, and one list (either
numbered or unnumbered). How do you save the Word document as a Web page? Is this
easier than using something like Notepad to actually write the HTML code? Why or why
not? How do you go about changing a Web site you created in Word?
DISCUSSION
You can create a Web site with Word in one of two ways. First, when you start Word,
5. BUILDING A TABLE IN HTML On the Web site that supports this text
build a Web site that contains the following table.
NAME
JOB
SENIORITY
Did you find it easy or difficult to build a table? Is this perhaps one of those instances
when using a Web authoring tool or Word to create Web site content is much easier than
actually writing the HTML code? Why or why not?

DISCUSSION
The table HTML code is given below. Most students will prefer to build tables using a
Web authoring tool or Word instead of writing the HTML code.

6. WEB SPACE AT YOUR SCHOOL Most schools offer their students Web space for building
and posting Web sites. Check to see what your school offers. Does it offer Web space?
How much storage memory are you provided? What sort of restrictions does your school
have for what can and cannot be on your Web site? How long do you get to continue to
use your school’s Web space after you graduate?
