The first thing you need to do is find out what your district's policy on web page creation is.
You need to know the limits of what you can and cannot do, especially when publishing students' work.

Before you start creating your classroom website, you first need to know what the purpose of the website is. If you can specify what that purpose is beforehand, that will help your site become much more focused. When deciding on the site's purpose, it helps to consider who your audience will be.
Here are some reasons why you might have a classroom website:
To Enhance And Promote Your Curriculum
One focus for your site could be to build and enhance your curriculum online. Using a classroom web can allow the learning process to take place anytime and anywhere. Students can access class notes, worksheets, objectives, lessons, and curricular resources even when they are at home. Parents and students can see what is being taught at a given time during the year. You can highlight your units or themes of the month or just add the units you are currently working on. If you want the focus to be on the curriculum you teach then you need to be adding your units of study, and also converting your worksheets to be able to be placed online. This can be a time consuming project but if you keep adding a few units or themes each year then you'll find that your library of curricula will soon begin to grow.

To Provide A Student Resource
You can create a rich resource to assist your students in the subjects that you teach. Find sites that support the subjects you are teaching. They can be content related sites, quizzes, online educational games, or you can even create your own site. Students can use the resources you cite to help them with their studies and projects. Your intended audience here is the students themselves.
Informational
You could provide an informational resource for both students and parents. The content for such a site could include calendars, nightly homework, spelling lists, test dates, field trip notices, etc. Parents and students would all benefit from this resource. You could use it to explain an instructor's course, the requirements, assignments, etc.

A Website storyboard is a visual representation of your website's structure. It maps out all the components of your site and how they inter-relate. Creating a website storyboard can help you plan and organize your website and even plan the internal linking structure between pages. A typical website storyboard might look something like this:
Home Page
About the Teacher Subject Area Taught Subject Area Taught
Assignments
Homework
Help Websites
Assignments
The arrowed lines connecting each are the hyperlinks that allow visitors to navigate between them
Homework
Help Websites

A good idea is to create a central place to put relevant material you want to put on your website. The material here may be worksheets, content from lessons, or links to resources that align with your objectives.
