Are you looking for an
interesting way to have students prepare a report
about a significant person? Why not have them make a
web-ography? A web-ography is a biography in the
form of a website.
RESEARCH A TOPIC USING AN
ORGANIZER TO RECORD FACTS
In the TechnoBiography technology
project students learn how to organize information into an
interesting online biography. The project begins with
activities that help students gain an understanding of
plagiarism. Afterwards, they use the Internet, or other
resources, to research a topic. Information is organized
under headings such as
childhood, education, career, accomplishments, death, and
interesting facts.

DESIGN A PUBLICATION USING DETAILED
LESSON PLANS
Next,
students design the appearance of their website. Using
Microsoft Publisher, they select a publication design, color
scheme, background, font scheme, and navigation bar. Their
choices should reflect the topic they are writing about.
Once
the website appearance is established, students use their
research to create a web-ography. The completed site will
contain a Home, Biography, Timeline, and Sources page.
For each page, students learn a new desktop publishing skill
such as how to arrange text and images, draw and format
AutoShapes, and create a table.
SHARE WEB-OGRAPHY WITH OTHERS
Upon
completion, the web-ography is uploaded to the World Wide
Web. Students then share their work with classmates,
friends, and family members.
