Here's an interesting tool if you or your learners are feeling a bit 'techie'. This site allows you to create your own website for free. You just
go to the site and download the software on there and Bob's your mother's brother! My 12 year old son assures me that it works and it's really easy to use (they are using it at school to make websites). The only thing that I'd say is that a quick internet search showed me to
this site which gives a guide on how to use it, and it says that this is great for experimental or small scale sites,but that you have limited publishing availability, so you have been duely warned! It has a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) style template set up so that you can do what you want really easily (if you can use Word, you can use this).
There are lots of ways that you could use this for a class - make one yourself for your learners with links to useful websites or upload homework, etc. If you (and they!) are a bit more ambitious, you could get them to make their own - it's a great motivation to produce writing for an authentic purpose.
Good luck!
Most website designer are clueless about marketing. In fact, most web designers have one thought in their head when they design a website, and that is: "How can I make this website pretty and a great addition to my portfolio." But by keeping a few simple points in mind it is possible to find a web designer that will concentrate on the important stuff: making more sales for your business.
