Re: [MOSAIC] web sites
For a one time fee of $35 (lifetime) you can get a membership at My eCoach which has an abundance of very easy to use collaboration tools available. One of them is the Universal Builder which is a very easy way to create web pages. For an additional $15 (lifetime) you can have a URL that you choose (yourchoice.my-ecoach.com). You can also sign up for a free membership, but I think that more of the tools are available to you if you have a paid membership. My eCoach is designed to be used as a tool for a team to communicate and collaborate online together and so there is MUCH more available than just the web creation tools, but it is a good start. One of the things that it does have is a blogging tool which I just used for a travel blog and it is very easy. You can check mine out at http://jfriesen.my-ecoach.com. Especially if you do not have server space I think this is an excellent solution for a class web page. The staff at My eCoach is amazingly responsive and after you have been using it a while you realize that there are a community of other users who are all educators there.

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.

[MOSAIC] web sites - last question, probably off topic
Hi - I have had a very generous offer to help me set up a web page with Scholastic, but I'd like to ask one more thing before I try that. I noticed in Publisher today that they have an easy creator. Has anyone used that, and what did you think? Thanks again. I won't bother you again (except maybe Bonita!).

Re: [MOSAIC] web sites - last question, probably off topic
I use Publisher for my website. Since I don't know anything else I can't compare it with others. You create it the same way you do PowerPoint, so if you know that you won't have trouble. I do have problems with needing longer pages, but I just haven't taken the time to learn that part. I haven't kept it up for a few years so I'm not willing to give it out to the public, just my students. Lori/Utah/3rd I noticed in Publisher today that they have an easy creator.

Re: [MOSAIC] web sites
Beverlee, I created a website for my teachers at our Middle and Elementary Schools as a Literacy Coordinator. I used Tripod servers. They are a subsidy of Lycos. It is a free server and if you do not want any advertising, it is only $4.95 a month. I pay for my kindergarten site http://polsellikindergarten.tripod.com and my district site http://portsmouthrischools.tripod.com but do not pay for the site I use to share literacy ideas with teachers http://literacytoolbelt.tripod.com and http://literacy-garden.tripod.com And here is the website to start a free web. http://tripod.com Good Luck! and I hope this helps you start your web!

Re: [MOSAIC] web sites
I house mine on the school server, but to deal with the copyright laws, the link is not public. Only teachers with the address and their assigned passwords are able to access. Are you ask about housing the pages or creating them? lori On 7/30/07 5:55 PM, Beverlee Paul [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: to MOT members - I'm sorry because I think some of this information was provided earlier, but recent developments now cause me to need new learning!!

Who will be using your site to copy and such? Will all the material be yours and available to share via copyright laws? If you are posting videos you may want to consider a different kind of space like a wiki or moodle. :)Bonita Beverlee Paul [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: to MOT members - I'm sorry because I think some of this information was provided earlier, but recent developments now cause me to need new learning!!

Re: [MOSAIC] web sites
Bev, Do you mean beside purchasing your own domain? We pay only 4 dollars a month for ours for two sites. Let me know if you want info. Debbie My husband says 3.99 a month for one site. But they do run sales so let me know if you're interested. I think we are on a sale price. And he says its more space that you'll ever need. Videos yes, but not hours and hours.
