I need help from all you web publishers out there. I am taking an on-line grad class. One of our final projects to to publish a web page. I've been trying for...
... There is a separate folder with all the graphics in it. If you page is called mypage.html, then there is a folder called mypage_files. You need to upload...

Thank you Ellen - I was putting them all in individually - I didn't realize I had to re-create all my folders on geocities as well. Next time I'll use easier...

I shrink mine slightly and while copies are running I use the paper cutter and whack off some the edges. It sounds like I spend a lot of time but since I...
I use the cutter, too. I don't shrink them though. Periodically I may not have time to cut them. The students will get scissors and trim them down. Before I...
I never let them call me by my first name though. Its weird, but that feels too casual. When I was a new teacher, I had a lot more trouble with kids wanting to...
We trim pages to fit the page. Sometimes we glue just the top margin to the page and fold the paper in half so that it fits neatly in the notebook and the...
