Creating MY own personal website

This week we went over creating a website. It's sort of like a blog, (at least that's what I understood). This will be helpful in my classroom, just as a blog was, but probably more so, to involve the computer and internet in my students learning. I can set it up, just as Sandie has it, so that I can put assignment and daily things that the students should be doing and learning. I also liked it for my own personal use, because my sister is in Canada and now I have another way of posting information.
The website will be more helpful during a classroom use, rather than for my own personal use.
There are so many options for the website, I can add pages, pictures, create links, and add text... I'm really excited to go through and explore it more.. And once again it has to do with my Google account!! Things just keep getting better.
Also with my Google email account Sandie, showed us on Tuesday that Google has a calendar... Now I bet you are thinking "Big deal!!! It's just a calendar.." But it soo cool. There is an option that you can go in and put in your cell phone number, and then when it is time for something on your calendar to happen... It will send you a TEXT!! I thought that was really neat. I'll have to go through and put in some events :)
