Hi there, I can give you ideas and thoughts on website-making. First, it is a good idea to decide why you would would one (purposes) and how much time you (or someone else) have to devote to it. I have made webpages for businesses as student projects, webpages for my students to access documents, homework, and links, webpages for parents to access newsetters, pictures, homework info and grades, webpages for teachers as part of training where they access documents, syllabi, powerpoints, discussion threads and weblinks. These are all different purposes and I have used different sources to make them. I also share a web wiki with fellow teachers where we talk online and set up our planning and ideas for lesson units. So...once you have decided what you might use a webpage for, then the next step is to figure out who will be updating and changing it and how often. These two factors: purpose and time (plus money-I suppose--though I have always used free services) pretty much help decide the complexity of the page and how best to proceed. Think about what you want to use it for and email me offlist and I will be happy to send you to some good resources. :)Bonita _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list Mosaic@literacyworkshop.org To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
