Website Develpoment Workshop in Nevis

A Website Development Workshop took place at Charlestown Primary School in Nevis on Wednesday 3^rd February, 2010 from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm and was facilitated by Ms. Wanda Pitt and Mr. Quinton Morton. Organised by Mr. Larry Richards from the Ministry of Education in Nevis, teachers from thirteen schools in Nevis participated in this one day event. The workshop was aimed at exposing teachers to basic website administration skills to enable them to develop a website for their respective schools. The process of formatting and designing the website was taught as it is essential for each school to be attractively reflected on their website.

The importance of the information placed on the school website was stressed as it imperative to uphold an image that is becoming not only of the Ministry of Education but of the entire Federation on a whole. A website is an online identity where schools can represent themselves by providing information for their students, parents, the general public and the entire world; the information garnered from this workshop was well accepted and the participation was excellent.

Advance features of the website were also taught which included uploading documents, creating links, uploading pictures and resizing, uploading video files and audio files along with the promotion of their websites on the internet.

From all accounts the Workshop was pregnant with information that all found beneficial and useful for their websites to be completed in a professional manner.
