any advice would be appreciated!

i've done the geocities thing for past classes, as well as blogger, but want something that's a little more interactive.

i'm having a hard time finding a free site that supplies both forums and a blog. i also want to have a spot to download files, as well as the basic class pics and other info... any ideas on a place other than geocities that lets amateurs like me make a homepage easily?

if i can't find a free place, i'm not against buying a dot com and paying for hosting...

thanks so much for any tips...

http://moodle.org is a great LMS (learning management system). I run my own and one for my department at the university I work at. I've also installed (for a fee) moodle with training to about 15 teachers in Korea. If you are interested send me a pm for details.

It's actually quite easy to do it yourself, but many noobs find it daunting and I'll be able to help you with that if you need it.

moodle looks neat!

a little tricky to get started though... tried to download it, but i dunno...

i need webhosting first, i guess, right? is the other software i need to install easy to find?

as mentioned above, i'd simply like a site to complement my test prep classes and offer extra support.

i need:

-a blog
-a discussion forum
-class information
-schedule
-a place to load large number of files for download
-a place for class pics
-possibly a place to keep track of marks
-hall of fame for test marks

is this moodle-worthy?

thx guys!

yes.

I don't use moodle blogs but they are built in. You will need to purchase hosting first, then download the moodle package and finally upload it to your new host and then follow the install instructions in the docs.

again, it is easy and you should be able to do it on your own. However if you are nervous about the whole procedure, I have helped many teachers set up moodle for a fee. send me a pm if interested.

Our school has websites available for every teacher, and we are encouraged to use them.

I sometimes have short class videos, post ppt's from class, and also create voice ppts for study on occasion. Students must learn the 100 most common English verbs, and the correct endings for past, present progressive, and future tense situations... and they must be able to use them correctly during individual speaking tests given twice per semester. From there, we branch out into more difficult sentences, adding more grammar points.

I also do all of my grades on Excel, and post them after every test, giving their student numbers instead of names.

wikispace also looks neat. they give teachers free ad-free pages.

but it seems very limited in what you can add... i'll consider both of these avenues, thx.

Moodle looked interesting. I noticed that some of the teachers at your school, SuperHero, had students post their homework. This is for all to see, or just the teachers? How do the students react to that?
