Hello and welcome to CyberEFL.
I'm Matt Stanton and this site reflects the efforts I put into helping other EFL/ESL teachers produce interactive, educational webpages for their students in the first half of 2002. The site is no longer updated, but I do still check the mailbox and the links page occasionally. I'm really sorry about the Tripod ads, which have been getting more and more in your face, and I hope you can still get down to the stuff I wrote.
Nowadays, teachers who are unable to put together a simple website with text, pictures and links may be the exception rather than the rule. Nevertheless, relatively few teachers are exploiting the interactive potential of the web to create truly educational activity pages to help their students. This is a shame because the technology to do it is sitting at their fingertips, either already in their computer or freely available off the internet. I believe the reason is a perception that "going interactive" is impossibly difficult or time-consuming.
It can, however, be done. If I did it, so can you!
If you're a complete beginner, you'll find my page "Creating Interactive Web Activities" most useful. It provides a thorough introduction to this kind of thing and will have you adding interactive elements to your site straight away. Once you've read that, or if you already have some knowledge of methods of incorporating interactive exercises in your pages, feel free to browse around. The other pages vary in difficulty and are not organised in any particular fashion. There are reviews of free software for making interactive activities, and scripts I've written for you to copy, paste and adapt, some of which are accompanied by explanations of how they work for the budding JavaScript programmers among you.
Matt
