Calling All Webmasters! - Activity 4

What perfect timing this activity was.  Last year, when I worked with 2nd graders in Technology, they created their own websites using their gmail accounts.  Many of them wanted to do more from home and I provided paper "blueprints" for the kids to help them.  The blueprints were step by step screen shots that I took on my computer and then copied with directions for the kids.  They worked well, but as you can imagine - some kids lost them, they didn't work for all of the learning styles of my students, and various other glitches came up.   I wanted to do a screencasting type of tutorial but I was too overwhelmed learning new things in a new position to add this to my list.   But here it is - and it is SO easy!  I used Screen-O-Matic.  

The one that you see below is a tutorial for kids about how to create the homepage of their own website.  I can't wait to put this to use with my second graders this year.   Woo hoo!  Technology, bring it on!  :)
