The following is the material received from the Institute powers that be. Please read carefully and complete the task.       Goal: To provide a method of data storage and retrieval using web page technology, that allows the participants to take home resources found or created while at the Institute. This is not designed to teach web page creation skills. Tech support people will be available on site to work with participants who wish to further explore web site creation (time permitting) and learn to publish this data to the web as a website. Procedure: Provided with a "fill in the blanks" template, participants will be asked to save their research data, planned instruction, leadership action plan and resources created or collected during the Institute in HTML format as a take home resource for planned instruction. After the participants have transferred these materials to their Front Page Express Template, and checked any links to be sure they work, the Community Leader will score the resulting Teacher Resource using the checklist below. Tech people will be on hand to handle any problems. The final product will be burned onto a CD-Rom by tech for the participants to access on their home computers.   Note: Participants will also contribute to their Community's Webpage as required by the Community Leader.
