postings and send each other e-mail messages within the Nicenet
system. Students can also post compositions for peer editing
through the "documents" function, share their favorite Internet
links on a given topic, and keep up on assignments/projects posted
by the teacher. This is a free service.

Schoolnotes.com
provides a website where teachers can post announcements and
class assignments -- free of charge. You don't have to know
html and you will be able to access your account at any
time from either school or home computers. You can also link to
your page from your school's web pages. Give your students the
address of your page and they and their parents can check on their
daily and long range assignments at any time. Students can also
e-mail you from the Schoolnotes
site, but your e-mail address does not show, and is not revealed
to the student. You can now post digital
flashcards for your students at the Schoolnotes site!

is a free personal website that's as easy to use as the bulletin

homework assignments & special announcements while viewing
your website. Then with the click of a button, your updates will
be instantly available to your students using any Internet access!
And to help your students get the most out of every lesson plan,
you can use TeacherWeb to point them to Internet information
sources for further study. If you choose, your students can also
email you directly from your TeacherWeb. Getting started is easy,
and because we know teachers are very busy, will only take about 2
minutes of your time.
