The purpose of Floyd's Online Lessons is to show children what's possible with the Web and teach them how to begin creating their own sites.

The best starting place is the Lesson index section. While the Lessons are designed to be read in any order, depending on the knowledge of the reader, there is a definite progression from beginning to end. So if kids are just starting out, it's best to begin with the Basics, which explains general concepts like what the Web is, how to plan the construction of a Web site, and how files are exchanged between computers.

If you'd just as soon skip the basics, then begin with What Is HTML. It provides an overview of how the language works, and the following lessons introduce specific tags. Working through this section will give kids a fairly broad education, preparing them for making their own pages.

Once they are ready to attempt some HTML, guide them to the Graphics and Tables. Both require some knowledge of HTML and ideally should be read after they've played around with making their own pages.
