I have thought about this question for the past week, and I still don't think I have come up with a great answer. Maybe I could use it to showcase some of the work the students do, like the Treasure Chest, or the Web Quest. But then it would have to be built on as the year goes on.
Our school already has Blackboard, so I wouldn't need it to post assignments or upcoming labs. I wouldn't even need it for tests. Maybe I could post some content, like the Mountain that I have developed that students have named and seem to find useful. My biggest challenge at this point is that I know I will have to create a 5 page website for this class that I am in, and I cannot think of one good thing to do with it! I hope inspiration strikes early so that I have time to get it done.

Why are good district websites necessary?
Busy sites can hurt the understanding of parents, or others, of the resources available at a given school, or in a district as a whole. One who visits frequently may take the time to find what they are looking for, but a "need to find something" visitor could easily get lost, frustrated, and alienated.
Why do I blog?
I blog because someone else thinks it is important. I blog because my grade depends on it. I blog because I have to. Do I WANT to blog? NO. Why not?
Why do I want to post my thoughts for virtual strangers to read and dissect? I may be a people person, but I read faces when I talk to people. I don't like email much, because I still can't see the people with whom I speak. And do you know how easy it is to be misunderstood in writing? (That is a rhetorical question.)
