Adventure Island
As the visitor travels around an
Adventure Island, descriptive writing for each area encourages
you to explore further. Will you be able to survive, and leave
the island, or will you remain forever ... trapped? Classes can
use this hypertext tool to create their own interactive island
adventure. Teachers do not need to know HTML as the tool creates
everything. Browse the islands already created. Or contact
us for a teacher's password to create your island.
