In CATCHsystem we emphasize Sites, not only for knowing the basics of how to use, browse and contribute to them, but because teachers and students should be able to create their own. Teachers can use these guides to challenge students to create their own, made from scratch websites, parents can work with their tech savvy kids to encourage their interest, and others can use this for their own knowledge and understanding of the web.
