Heya, not sure exactly what you had in mind for assignments etc. I mentioned Moodle before, but didn't really explain what it was, so not sure if it's what you are looking for or not. So to explain what I neglected last time:<br />

Moodle is a web-based course management system. It handles assignment creation, students can do assigments on your moodle site, do assignments on the computer and submit them to your site or can hand them in to you directly. Moodle also contains a grade book that you can fill in. Students will then be able to see their marks for their assignments.<br />
<br />
Here are a few Youtube links that will explain more:<br />

It's hard to beat Google Sites. It gives you all of the features of a wiki plus it has the seamless integration with other google apps (docs, picassa, youtube).<br />
<br />
If you are just wanting a place to post assignments and information, blogs are the way to go. I don't recommended blogger.com though. I would go with edublogs.com or if your school runs Mac OS X Server have them set up a blog account on that. We use Mac OS X server for all of our wikis, blogs, and podcasts.

I'm late to this discussion, and Eve had already mentioned myteacherpages.com. I just want to add, I started with myteacherpages, and now every teacher in my school has one. I really like it. Parents really rely on having our pages updated now. It's a great site, but it's downside is that it is a pay service. Also, If you wanted to add a blog and collaborate. You would have to subscribe to another site. Edublogs.org etc.<br />

The easiest website creator that I have used for my teacher site is eboard.com. I have designed and maintain several websites and just didn't want to have to put too much time into the design of my class website and was looking for an easy, yet attractive format. You can see what i have done with it at mrsmartin.eboard.com<br />
<br />
Good Luck!<br />

I have word that the ads are creeping into WordPress.com as well, but so far no in-line ads, so they are less obtrusive.<br />
<br />
There's no such thing as a free lunch.

I've used <a href="http://webnode.com">Webnode</a> to share homework, links, and general information with my students. It's easy to maintain, and I've bought a <a href="http://godaddy.com">Godaddy</a> domain that forwards to this webnode page. Parents are able to subscribe to my homework feed, and I am able to track the traffic that comes through the site.<br />

Hi Mark,<br />

I highly recommend <a href="http://moodle.org">http://moodle.org</a> . It is free, open source, and can be uploaded to your own server.<br />

I'm currently in the process of getting all of our teachers on wordpress.com. I started with edublogs at the beginning of the year but all of a sudden the advertising was out of control and not always appropriate. They also cut the amount of free space. Since both sites use Wordpress, I was able to export my edublog info to my new Wordpress. I'm just praying that Wordpress will work out for everyone or I may experience a mutany! Here is <a href="http://www.rglenboski.wordpress.com">my site</a>.

Hi mark,<br />
I'm new like you, but the first thing i know for sure you can do is go to wikispaces, that's <a href="http://www.wikispaces.com">www.wikispaces.com</a> where you can actually set up your own wiki and add up account from every student and start editing work. You'll have to have a good read to find how to make it work for you. I hope it helps. I also think edublogs is great, and one of the hosts is australia (i'm from sydney!)<br />
