Hey all -

You guys are the smartest people that I know so I’m going to throw this out there and perhaps ask those of you up on the Basecamp forum too.

I work in educational technology and I just started writing a technology blog (like the world needs another one – NOT) at the insistence of the Overlords at my day gig.

I will be talking about 37s too but one of the things that I’m doing right now is trying to answer some specific questions from teachers.

I got a question yesterday about how a teacher can make a really, REALLY easy website (they don’t have a lot of time and some of them are not super technical) for their classroom. They want it to be either really cheap or free. (I would assume they would be OK with ad supported because nothing is really free, everyone needs some kind of revenue stream) I would like to make them a list of less than 10 that I would feel confident about.

I’m personally a huge fan of Squarespace (http://www.squarespace.com) but I think that might be a little much for them.

So my question is: What are your ideas? I can talk about Google Sites. But I know that there are lots of other things out there. I’m thinking that Backpack might make an interesting classroom website. No reason it can’t right?

What do you guys think?

Thanks,

Cindy

Cindy, if you use a Mac check out iWeb and .Mac publishing. It’s super easy and full of really nicely designed templates.

You know Jason, I don’t use a Mac (at this point anyway, I might migrate back to one soon, I used them for years until my stupid job made me switch) but I was surprised to discover that many .Mac features are available for Windows users also so it’s on my list of things to suggest.

THANKS!

Cindy
