Just as individuals have both professional resume pages and personal user pages, classes can include both educational as well as personalized space for students. Students need ways to take pride in their school and their teacher and classroom. Not much, but my sense of the word has to do primarily with intended audience.

Web publishing is the attempt to create a publication for a wide range of readers.
Instead of being an individualized effort, a publishing project often involves a team of people working together to create an interesting web site with graphics, information and additional resources available to interested readers. A web publishing project may need to interest readers and then provide a wealth of information related to the publication topic. Although not directly related to web publishing, there are several web sites devoted to teachers and their needs. Teachers do need ways to expand their own experiences and connect to others who are actively integrating the web across the curriculum. This site is maintained by Dr. Randy M.
