html stands for HyperText Markup Language and today it was the turn of Year 6 at Victoria Road School to try this out for themselves.
As well as learning about the creation of web pages using the language invented 30 years ago by Tim Berners-Lee, there are many side benefits to this activity - including proper use of a keyboard.
The language demands the use of many non-standard characters such as < and > not to mention :, :, {,,}, (, ). !, and many more.
The ability to go back and EDIT the text to add additional features is also a transferable skill. As is filing items in specific formats, forcing the computer to open files in a browser or text editor, picture formats and much more.
Computer bus should be back at Vic Rd in the not too distant future...
