Fun with HTML
I showed my students how to use the "a" tag to make links. That is probably the most useful HTML tag, but there are so many more. I will use the "a" tag right here to send you to this cool place where all kinds of tags are explained. Since we're talking about 9th graders here, I bet the tags that they dig the most are "a" (of course), "b" (for bold lettering), "i" (for italicized lettering), "marquee" (to create a newscrawl-type-thingie like on the top this blog), and maybe "embed" (if they get adventerous with audio or video). The "img" tag is also very useful, but blogger can do simple "img" stuff for them. But, they'd need to do the "img" work themselves in special cases, like when they want to put an "img" tag inside of a "marquee" tag (see my tox radio post). It will be neat to see them give it a go.
