HOSTING, CHEAP AND FREE :

http://www.teacherwebsite.com/ Free sites for teachers, Really pretty useful and simple to use. No FTP, and it seems you must use their built in page editor, but it works and its FREE.

http://teacherweb.com/ CHEAP hosting $25/year. 30 day free trial.

http://www.myteacherpages.com/ CHEAP hosting $20 per year site builder.

http://www.catalog.com/free_hosting.html CHEAP all in one deal!!! Buy a domain (like yourname.com) for $39.95 then they will host it for you and provide 100MB of space ten email accounts. ! Administrative question ? Could teachers put this into their budget each year, then they would be responsible for the site and not have to trouble our tech dept?

http://geocities.yahoo.com/home/ FREE WEB HOSTING HERE. I’ve used this, it works well. Don’t need FTP access, their file manager works just fine for uploading. Yahoo does add a small advertising box visible on Windows browsers, but Mac browsers don’t have to see that nonsense.

http://www.freewebs.com/vose/index.htm FREE WEB HOSTING. I tried it. It’s slow and you can only upload one file at a time using their file manager. They only ask that each page have a link back to freeweb. FTP access is available for a fee.

Examples of districts hosting teacher web sites:

http://www.eicsd.k12.ny.us/staffweb.htm Great district philosophy that really encourages staff to use technology creatively!

http://www.tk.k12.mi.us/hs/index.htm Nice clean High school page with a top level link to “Staff Websites.” Along with the disclaimer that all sites are created by the staff themselves, and contain information that those particular instructors deem relevant.

http://www.parmacityschools.org/staff/index.cfm I'm not crazy about the design, or some of the individual pages, but its a start.

http://nsu-cc.northern.edu:82/Faculty_Staff_Web.html nice clean interface
