FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SAN DIEGO, Ca., SEPTEMBER 16, 1996 -- Teachers.Net Web Services today unveiled a free Internet resource which allows teachers to create powerful Internet Homepages for use in the classroom. The Teachers.Net Homepage Maker is an simple to use web program which allows teachers to easily create dynamic web documents that take full advantage of Internet technologies.

The Homepage Generator (http://www.teachers.net/sampler/) uses cgi programming which allows teachers to fill out a simple web form, supplying background information and selecting website features, and receive a handsomely generated Homepage which they can easily download and save or have sent to them by e-mail.

Webpage features available to select from include text and link color, background colors and patterns, and even a choice of custom graphics and icons. The form will also incorprate advanced Java and JavaScript functions, including a working clock, a current announcements ticker, and Kouichirou Eto's FadeScript, a fun applet which makes the webpage fade in from any color, at any speed desired.

The Homepage Maker has many more features that aren't apparent at first glance. It is actually a powerful tool designed to help teachers learn how to use the World Wide Web for enhanced education in the classroom. The created webpage comes complete with easy to understand comments embedded in the html "source" code, comments which plainly explain how to make changes and add to the page, as well as point to advanced tutorials and guides to easily learn html programming.

The generated webapge itself is loaded with powerful tools designed to help teachers integrate web technologies into the classroom. The page includes links to specialized teacher web links, like the Teachers.Net Website Manual (http://www.teachers.net/manual/), an easy-reading guide designed to help novice teachers quickly gather the tools and understand the concepts necessary for creating a World Wide Web site. The generated webpage also links to easy to follow instructions for installing guestbooks, counters, bulletin boards, mailing lists, and a host of other cgi, Java, and JavaScript features. The result is that teachers get the instruction and resources they'll need to begin integrating web technologies into the classroom.

Teachers.Net is a Santa Monica based company specializing in providing teachers websites and the resources for developing advanced web-based curricula. The Homepage Maker is just the first tool in a series of Internet teaching tools designed by Teachers.Net. Future releases include the Teachers.Net Electronic Field Trip Kit, the Internet Yearbook, and the On-Line Lesson Planner. Teachers.Net also provides low cost teacher websites and Internet seminars and workshops across the country.

As the nation moves into the information age, teachers are quickly realizing the urgency for them to tackle the skills and technologies associated with the Internet. Teachers.Net provides these to the teachers wise enough to recognize the educational needs of the coming century.
