We have chosen freewebs.com to host our site. It does contain some advertising but it is simple, clean, has many options and best of all - it's free. As I discussed previously-we chose to do an I-Search learning resource involving local environmental concerns. Our site is located here www.freewebs.com/isearchenvironmental.
The process of building this site was time consuming but we have developed a learning resource that we can now apply in our classrooms. We wanted a resource that all of us could use - even though we teach different grades. The site was designed mainly for high school students but it could easily be modified for middle or elementary school. Our site provides several resource links and help pages to the students. They have many options in this assignment so they may work to their strengths and create a presentation that they are proud of. The assessment rubrics are displayed so they know what is expected.
I'm sure our resource is not perfect. As in most teaching situations, it must be tried, observed and revised to best fit the needs of the students. As teachers, we must be flexible to this type of change and realize that learning activities are not only for students but opportunities for teachers to grow as effective educators.
