Learning Html @ NYU

I began to ponder why would NYU Home provide a tool for learning html?

My hunch was that, students, if not already, will begin to use the internet as a tool for learning as well as gain access to a wealth of information.

Understanding the world of HTML coding allows one the ability to create various internet pages and manipulates them to appear distinctive, executing unique products. Having the skill to generate pages without having to dupe, copy and paste HTML codes from internet sources gives one an incisive sense of thinking, and challenges them to a higher cognoscente of computer literacy. Furthermore, providing a tool to learn HTML codes though considered a basic fundamental of higher learning, HTML or “Hyper Text Mark Up Language,” is a set of tags that set rules for pages and layouts. (msykes.com). However, the real truth is, HTML is a huge asset for many reasons; it gives you the freedom to create your own internet pages, in order to advertise, network as well as gaining access to an enormous amount of information that can be used for projects, assignments, research, etc., and for information for school purposes.
