How to use Frontpage in classes?

Does anyone use Frontpage as a teaching tool? I try to use it in a Microsoft
XP environment, networked 24 computer lab situation and we still have many
problems. I am not as great at this software as others because I always have
problems and any textbooks I use never work the same way the exercises say
they are in my lab.

Can anyone help me?
 
You haven't told us what problems/issues you are having?

FP was not designed really to work in a network environment.

If you feel your current issue is a results of installing
a Service Pack or security update, please contact
Microsoft Product Support Services:

If the problem can be shown to have been caused by a
security update, then there is usually no charge for the call.

After becoming certified by the Wisconsin Technical College System I taught
web design and development in the classroom and I know exactly what you are
talking about.

FrontPage could be used successfully but you're going to have to take the
responsibility to do it yourself.

The tech schools and universities in America have become cesspools of
subversive corruption; the networks are controlled by the IT staff and the
courses and curriculum subverted and corrupted by politicians who call
themselves administrators. Both sides wages war against one another and the
teachers and instructors are put into the middle and used as scapegoats to
cover the @sses of whichever side need to use you.

The best help I can offer is to advise you to find some other way to support
yourself as your presence here asking for help indicates you are already
fishbait.

I'm going to have to agree (for the most part) with Clinton here. As a
professional programmer, with a dozen years of professional experience, and
as a Senior Application Developer with my own team, I have learned that
degrees and certificates are about worth the paper they are printed on. When
I see a resume, I always skip the education part, and get right down to the
experience.

Computer technology in particular, cannot be learned from books. For one
thing, it changes constantly. For another, sotware systems are so complex
that merely understanding the theory about how a computing technology works
does not prepare one for the real world. Books and schools offer an
introduction, no more. Experience and self-determination provide the rest.

However, I would have to disagree regarding your presence here making you
"fishbait." I think it demonstrates a good measure of self-determination,
and a willingness to research. Clinton can be something of a cynic. ;-)

I meant to convey her presence here indicates she is unaware she is being
used as fishbait.

As for me being considered a cynic, I prefer to agree with academics who
long ago identified me as a classic curmudgeon, the definition of which I
feel is more thoughtfully expressed by [1],[2] than those definitions which
are found in the typical dictionary.

Hmm, both quotes by self-confessed "curmudgeons."

From what I gather, it is cynicism that makes one a curmudgeon.

Still, as a former cynic (or perhaps curmudgeon?), I have found that while
nothing else has changed much, my outlook certainly has!

In any case, your good intentions are known to me at least.
