HTML-

(Hyper Text Markup Language)

We are using freewebs to create a website using html. Our websites will have a title, a brief description, an embedded video, and a picture. Each student will use the html tutorial to assist them in adding these elements to their websites.

A brief quiz in html will follow this unit. The quiz will include questions like:

What code would I add to this to make the text appear in the center of the page?

<p><FONT SIZE=7>My Wonderful Vacation</font></p>

What is missing from this code?

Learning HTML is <B>so B> much fun!
