Help Someone Get Online

I first came across Pass IT on from Selena Woodward. What a great initiative!

There are two simple ways that you can help someone online with Pass IT on:

1. Teach the basics
2. Make the web simple using the buttons start page

On a similar thread, Race Online 2012, backed by the UK government, is a challenge to everyone in the UK to help become the first nation in the world where everyone can use the web.

Aspirational or achievable?? I guess 'time will tell'!

Create your own Online Presence

If you want to create a traditional website presence on the Internet, then look no further than Edublogs. Although designed as a blogging platform, this site also allows you to create a 'static' first page, which gives the look and feel of a traditional website.  You can then add as many other pages as you wish.

Netvibes, Protopage and Pageflakes all allow you to create your own personalised website by using widgets. All of these sites let you to create multiple 'tabs' so you can build up a whole set of web pages.

You can choose to make your pages either private (for your eyes only) or public (for anyone to see). The public feature is currently not available in Netvibes but will become available shortly.

Before deciding which one to use it is advisable to try them all out and see which one suits you best. For more information, Graham Wegner gives a personal review of Netvibes, Protopage, Pageflakes and Webwag.
