The idea of Authoring for the World Wide Web as the topic of a college level course is to be understood in the context that this technology is making information availability ubiquitous. The focus of this class is to explore and practice publishing using the web in your own teaching. It matters not if your classroom has no, one, or many computers. Three things: 1. Gain access. If you don't already have a home computer, or you were thinking that you need to upgrade your home computer, do it. How can you master weaving technology into your curriculum if you can't practice it day in and day out yourself, at home, for yourself? 2. Be patient. It takes time for new ideas and new tools to gain hold and have lasting and powerful effects. Be patient ... with yourself, your collogues, and your students. Remember, learning only takes place if we make mistakes. 3. Have a Purpose: Computers are not IT. This class is not about computers. It is about educators doing what for hundreds of years we have always done -- integrate technology into pedagogy.
