Let's Make A Webpage E-Book

Computer Lady Phyllis Wheeler shows your 8 to 12 year old how to make his or her own webpage.

Phyllis Wheeler has written a wonderful e-book! As a homeschooling mother, I am always looking for ways to effectively teach my children things I don’t know. It is tricky to teach, say computer-speak, when I am clearly computer illiterate! If it weren’t that blogger is so easy to use, I would not have this blog since I have no idea what HTML even stands for.

I would love for my children to have a better understanding of the workings of the computer, and Phyllis Wheeler has made that easy.

This is what Phyllis Wheeler has to say…

I am a veteran homeschooling mom who has helped many kids build a solid foundation of computer knowledge. I can help yours too.

Are you worried that your youngsters could eventually fall behind in the computer area? Why not give them a boost that puts them AHEAD of their counterparts in schools?

So, where does your youngster get a good foundation?

• At your school if it's offered
• At home, using our computer curriculums.

This 60-page e-book is a tutorial especially designed for young children (although your child under the age of 10 will probably want you alongside).

Here's what's in Let's Make a Web Page:
