When students bring up that file on your classroom or lab computer, they can follow your selected links. You can also save these files to your web site in HTML*. The set of links I created for Ancient Rome (in my links) were done in this manner. Example below, If you can use Word , you just create a regular document with the insertion of hyperlinks . (see a Word tutorial*)
