In the future

As I reflect on my experiences with the new technology I am using through the auspices of STEP, there are some things that I have never done that I would like to learn. We all have been discussing our respective blackboard sites and possibly moving them to google or the wikispace. I would like to build a webpage for my students from scratch. Finding a host site that has all of the necessary tools for us would be worth exploring. It would have to be a host site that allows the embedding of html for such things as podcasts, a place to provide links, upload files, and I personally want the ability to add any aethestic designs to enhance the site. The other idea I had brewing was to create my own unit or lesson webquest. This could be done as a cross-curricular activity or individually. People say use what is out there and try not to reinvent the wheel, but I would definitely find this activity beneficial because I do not know what is all involved in creating one. In any case it is just some food for thought for future planning.
