Advanced WIT Scope and Sequence

Final module selection and arrangement is up to the mentors of each homeroom.
Advanced homerooms are Alpha (morning) and Beta (afternoon).
The aim for each module is given after its title.
Dreamweaver for Advanced: to help educators who are fairly comfortable using computers to learn enough about Dreamweaver to be able to use it to create attractive and useful curriculum webs.

Searching the Web: to help WIT participants acquire skills in effective searching techniques.

FTP: File Transfer Protocol: To acquaint all participants using this module with some fundamental information about FTP. Also to enable WIT Basic participants (who will be using the module on a required basis) to download, install, and use a standalone GUI-based FTP client program. Also, in practice, to at least accomplish the installation of an FTP GUI standalone client on the participant's computer (whether or not they retain the ability to do this sort of installation).
Web Site Design: to teach WIT participants to create a web site with easy-to-use navigation elements and a consistent overall site structure.
Curriculum Terms and Concepts: introduces WIT participants to the steps in curriculum development and supports them as they examine preexisting curriculum webs.
The Teaching Guide: introduces WIT participants to the elements of the WIT Teaching Guide, how to incorporate the CPS standards into curriculum webs, and supports them as they develop an initial draft of the teaching guide for their web-based curriculum.

Using and Managing Netscape Bookmarks ( to provide participants with instruction for maintaining and organizing Bookmarks in Netscape Navigator) or

Create Your Personal Bookmark File (to tell participants why they should consider saving bookmarks, to provide a set of specific written instructions on how to save bookmark files to desktop folders and/or to floppy disks, and to list the basic bookmark editing commands and their functions. )

Using the Web to Support Teaching and Learning: show educators who are fairly comfortable using computers and the web, how they can support teaching and learning using the web.
Evaluating Internet Resources: to provide WIT participants with an understanding of what makes a good web site and to later apply this knowledge when developing their own site.
Introduction to HTML: to teach WIT participants to recognize commonly used Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) tags  in order to edit preexisting HTML files.
Adding Sounds and Movies to Web Pages: to instruct participants on how to locate, place, and embed audio and video files in Web pages.
Netscape Composer: I want you to come out of the unit knowing more about Composer and how to build a web page than you did when you started it. I want you to be able to take the knowledge gleaned from this unit and build a classroom web site of your own.

 

PRODUCT expected of WIT ADVANCED participants:

A complete curriculum web
