Review
"Providing a different approach to Web development in a straightforward and well-presented style, this manual gives educators an easy alternative to often times more complicated Web development software. With easy-to-understand text and corresponding illustrations, users will be able to develop their Web pages and have them up and running in no time. The book starts by discussing the different types of Web pages and the advantages and disadvantages to each, and then moves on to specifically show how to make Web pages using PowerPoint. It finishes with information on getting pages published and the variety of methods for doing so (a school's server, free hosting, etc.). The 'Library Media Connections' sidebars throughout the book nicely highlight how library media specialists bring their own special skill set to this process, which is a good reminder for the library media specialist, and a hint to teachers who may be using this manual. Readers who have not previously used PowerPoint have no need to worry, as the instructions are clear and easy to understand. For educators who are eager, but overwhelmed by creating a Web page, this manual provides the tools to do so in a simple but attractive fashion. Highly Recommended." - Library Media Connection
