Using a Template
Home Up Workshop Assignments Schedule Creating WebQuests Class WebQuests

 
Here's how you can use one of the templates from the SDSU WebQuest site:
  • Download the template.
    • Go to the WebQuest template page: http://webquest.sdsu.edu/LessonTemplate.html
    • Click on the link for the template that you want (if you are using FrontPage, then you want the Windows, or Zip version).
    • When it asks, tell it to download or save the file.
    • Make sure that you save it on your computer (hard drive, flash drive, etc.) where you can find it again.
  • Decompress the template.
    • Find the downloaded file from above on your computer.
    • Double click on it.
    • Chances are that your computer will already have a way to "unzip" it. If not, let me know.
    • Tell it to extract all the files and put them into a folder where you can find them.
  • Import the template into FrontPage.
    • Open FrontPage.
    • Open the empty website that you have already created. (What? You haven't done that yet? Look here.)
    • Use the File menu and choose the Import... option.
    • Click the Add File... button.
    • Navigate to the folder where you saved the decompressed template pages.
    • Open it.
    • Select all the files there.
    • Click Open.
    • Click OK.
    • The pages from the template will be put into your website.
  • Start adding your content. If you have already written some of it in Word, you can copy and paste it into the Web pages in FrontPage.
    • When you paste in FrontPage, I recommend using the Edit menu... Paste Special, choosing the Normal paragraphs with line breaks option.
    • To edit any given page, double click on it in the list at the left.
    • Use FrontPage the same way you would use Word to put in your content.
