When to create a module vs a template?

[Stachel]

I'm planning how I'm going to re-do my website using vBadvanced.

I think I have modules and templates confused and need to start over with some basic definitions / understanding.

When should I create modules instead of templates?
(or if it's easier to answer like this:) When should I create templates instead of modules?

Also (variation of same question)

When should I choose to:

>> Add module
of type [Template]

vs

>> Add Page
of type [Module]

Templates are a part of template modules, so you have to create a template when you're creating a template module. If you create a new template module and specify a template name for that module to include then it is going to display the output of that template. The same applies for template pages.

So, if several (6) pages of my website are going to be just HTML image maps,

should I

- create an image map module
or
- create a template page of type HTML
