SUBMITTING A UNIT OR A LESSON
Linked here is our unit/lesson
template, with descriptions of each area available by clicking on the
titles. To save this template so
you can enter your unit or lesson into it, follow the instructions below.
For PCs
- From
the blank template page, open the
“File” menu and choose "Edit in FrontPage" if available, then
go to Step 4. If not available, go to File, then “Save As” to save a copy of the template to
your desktop.
- Close
the original window.
- On the
desktop, there may be two new icons - a
folder icon and a file icon. Try the file icon first. Right
click on it and select “Edit” – this brings up the template in an html editor,
such as FrontPage.
- Type
your information into the blank boxes in the table.
To create links, use the features in your editor program.
- Save
the file to your desktop, using the unit/lesson title as the file name.
- When
complete, e-mail as an attachment to: editors@dsisd.k12.mi.us
For Macs
- From
the blank template page, open the “File” menu and choose “Save As.”
In the “Save As” box, indicate that the document is a web page
and the format or page source is html.
(The prompts will vary, depending on your computer.)
Save the blank template on your desktop as newtemplate.html
- Close
the original window.
- Open
an html editor, such as Composer, Dreamweaver, or FrontPage to a blank new
document. Click and drag the
newtemplate.html icon onto the blank new page.
- Type
your information into the boxes, then save the completed unit or lesson,
using its title as the name. E-mail
this as an attachment to: editors@dsisd.k12.mi.us
- If
your computer does not have an html editor, print the blank template and use
it as a guide to type your unit or lesson as a Microsoft document.
When finished, e-mail as an attachment to: editors@dsisd.k12.mi.us
