The World Wide Web provides the opportunity for anyone with an internet connection to share information with a vast global audience - previously the domain of mega-rich media moguls!
While the promise of the Internet has always been access to global publishing for everyone, the technology to make this a reality has always been a bit of a hurdle.

These pages discuss some options available to educators to engage in web publishing opportunities for both themselves, their students and their school communities. |
