Develop a Schedule
|
|
Information
|
One of the greatest advantages to a Web site is providing
your students and parents with a schedule. You may want a weekly, a nine
week or a semester schedule. Of course, the challenge to a schedule is the
many interruptions we face as teachers. Therefore, it is important to update
your schedule on a weekly basis. To create this schedule you will learn
how to work with tables. |

Activity

Open a blank Home Page document. If Home Page is not open
you may go to the launcher and open the program. If it is open, go to the
Application menu and select Claris Home Page 3.0. Next go to the menu bar
File/New Page. (Please remember that Claris Home Page and FileMaker Home
Page are the same software. The company just changed the name, so the name
may vary from computer to computer.) |

Insert a table. To learn more about tables and how they're used, watch
the video. As you design your page, you may find that it would be useful
to change the color of the table or the layout of the table. Watch the
video on table features and learn more about using tables to enhance your
Web site. After watching the video change the color and border size of
your table to a setting of your choice.

On your own
|
Open a new blank Home Page document. Create a "links
page/resource page." On this page you need to create an appropriate
title and then use a table to add at least 5 links that are relevant to
your class. No video is provided for this activity, but you could review
earlier videos for additional assistance. Once your page is finished, link
the" links page" to your "home page" AND your "home
page" to the "links page." |
|
|
|
| Make sure to link this page to your home page
AND your home page to this page. You now have a nice working Web site to
get you started with your students and parents. Keeping your schedule up
to date and revising your home page will be the key to its success. It's
now time to move on to some advanced features of both FileMaker Home Page
and designing a Web site. |
