It's free and pretty easy to use. The only problem we've run into is that it is blocked by the firewalls of some school districts so you have to work that out first. I don't know specifically of teachers who have done this with their students, but I bet they're out there. The other idea I have is to have students use something like WikiWeb (www.wikiweb.com), which allows you to create and edit web pages from anywhere over the Internet, not requiring any special software. I think this would be great for collaborative student projects, maybe between different schools, but I haven't heard of anyone doing that, so I'm not sure how easy it would be to teach the basics of creating a wiki site. Is anyone out there using WikiWeb? Marian Thacher, OTAN Sacramento, CA nifl-technology@nifl.gov writes: >Hi everyone. > >Has anyone included website design as a part of an ESL/EFL course?
