Editor's Notes
#3: Clip art + questions suggests an interactive opportunity.If this doesnt fit your style, you can hide or delete the slide.
#4: Good way to start class discussion; students love talking about websites they use!
#12: The answer is both and this slide leads to the next section
#13: This web site I found to be unique because it clearly stated the characteristics of its target segment. It is worth it to take a look in class since we could not get permission to reproduce in the book or the slides.
#15: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cwUxYvpmfw is a fascinating video that shows heat tracking live. There are other videos on YouTube as well.
#17: FALSE; there should be several ways to navigate the site
#18: TRUE: Most people wont navigate below. Its the old newspaper idea of a headline situated above the fold.
#30: Ask which ones the students find most appealing.
#34: Wordpress also allows students to set up a personal page quite simply.
#36: Do go to the site and enjoy; we wanted to show pictures but could not get permission.
