Geo Teacher's Geography Classroom

This page provides links to those resources I used or stumbled upon while putting together Geography Classroom.  One aspect that  makes the internet so special is the availability of free resources for novice web designers.  Such resources were invaluable in the process of creating this site.     Creating Web Pages for Dummies  (a great reference book for beginners) Webster's Dictionary 2.0  (online spell checker for web pages) Web Developer's Virtual Library  (you won't believe the amount of free resources here) HTML Writers Guild  (If you are serious about improving your web design skills, this is the organization to join.  The first year membership is free, and teachers and students receive a 50% membership discount.  You'll find lots of resources and useful mailing lists.  Join the critique list and have other web designers critique your page--lurking on this list has been invaluable to me.) Web Site Garage  (check out your web page performance in seven different areas) Bare Bones Guide to HTML  (quick reference list of all the HTML tags current browsers are likely to recognize) The Print Shop®   (nice graphics software for the MAC or PCs--source of some graphics used in Geography Classroom)     Free graphic sources Barry's Clip Art Server  (one of the best of this group) Iconographics Design Animation Factory  (30,000 original animations and design) CyberMonkey's World   (a little slow loading, but really worth the wait) Boogie Jack  (free graphics, sounds, and more) 2Cool Animations   (large selection and easy to use) Icon Bazaar Ender Designs: Realm Graphic  (these backgrounds, bullets, and buttons are beautiful and elegant) The Wizard of Draws Graphic Treasury  (source of some cartoons by Jeff Bucchino used in Geography Classroom) JGG Web Clipart Freebies The Clip Art Connection  (a long list of links) The Graphic Site: Creative Insanity, Inc.  (colorful graphics suitable for education related pages) The Print Shop®  (source of some graphics used in Geography Classroom) Other free stuff The Banner Generator   (make a title banner for your web page) 3D Text Maker Button Maker  (turn any GIF image into a nicely beveled button) GIFWorks  (free online image editor--resize it, colorize it, optimize it, and jazzercise it) HTMLWorks  (analyze your site for load times, bad links, html syntax, search engine rank, & popularity) This site was created using "Composer"-- an easy web page editor in Netscape 4.0 and later versions. You don't have to know much about HTML code to use it to create your own web site. For step by step directions, visit Tips for Web Page Building Using Netscape Composer.  This site is hosted by AT&T WorldNet Service with no additional fee over their normal internet service provider charge. They allow up to 60 megabytes of space with no annoying banners or pop ups.  The counters and my mail form are provided by their Personal Web Page service. My site map is provided by Free Find.
