Learning To Love the Code: HTML As a Tool in the Writing Classroom | Margaret Batschelet

Activities for Integrating HTML into Writing

Using HTML to explore writing issues involves teaching students particular HTML tags and using these tags as starting places for discussions of writing topics. These applications can be fairly simple, involving basic HTML tags, or they can be more advanced, involving more complex HTML concepts. The suggestions I offer here are hardly exhaustive; instead they're meant as opening gambits in an ongoing discussion. As those of us who teach HTML as part of our web writing classes find new ways of joining code and more traditional writing activities, I look forward to hearing how others have integrated HTML into their teaching practice.
