Site manager Edit page RSS Wondering how to make a website?

This is the home page for a website I created on http://www.comfypage.com. This is another free Web 2.0 tool that I plan to use in a different way in my classroom. I have decided to use this site as an information site for the parents of my students. I plan to use this as a daily forum to keep parents informed as to what is going on in class.

It will take some time to build this site like I want to, however here are some things I plan to do. The first page will be what we did today. Each grade level will have a snippet of what we did in class that day. The next page will be a homework page. Each grade level will have the project we are working on and when it is due. I will also have the sketchbook assignment and when it is due.

The next page will have a video of student work. This will be a gallery of art work. This will be entirely student produced. I will give this project as part of the 8th grade art grade. They will pick the pieces of work, video the work and publish it on the site. They will also be responsible to interview students outside of class and write the student's reviews of the work and put it on the site.

Even though this is a work in progress, I think this will be beneficial for the students and parents alike.
