Posting Homework for Online ClassesMost classes will have homework assigned, and since the class is online, you'll need a place to post homework for critique and credit. However, if you do not know how to make a web page, or you do not have web space of your own, there are many alternatives available in the form of free or low cost web space and free or low cost photo galleries. I have compiled a list to make your search a little easier, and if you have a favorite that is not listed here, please let me know and it will be added. Passwords on Homework PagesI realize you may not want every one who can surf the web to look at your homework, but please, if you want to put a password on your homework page, post the password along with the URL to the homework EVERY TIME you post your work. As much as I wish I did, I do not have a photographic memory, and I will not be able to remember your URL or your password from week to week. Free servers:There are a lot of free web hosts or photo album sites on the net, although most will put ads on your page. Still, they are free and that's good! If you are really new to all this, you may prefer the photo galleries as they take care of sizing images and such for you. Your own ISP: most ISP's provide some web space with your account. You will have to create the page yourself and upload using FTP. If you do not know how to do that, then check out these as most of them have some sort of Sitebuilder to do the HTML and uploads for you:

There are also web galleries you can use:You may notice there are several popular online galleries that are not listed here. There are two reasons for this: they either require me to join their site to see images posted there, or I am often unable to load pages from these galleries, and if the pages don't load, I can't see your work. I don't know if it is my ISP or my computers (but since it happens with all 5 of the computers I use daily, I doubt it is the computer), but one of the sites listed below will work best for class homework. Note please that I very often cannot load My Photo Album or Photobucket or Tripod pages, so if you use one of these I may not be able to see your work. Picasa Web Albums: Go to picasaweb.google.com to download the free Picasa software and learn to make web albums. Google bought Picasa and has since expanded it into a very nice free service and photo organizational software. This is my first choice since Yahoo went to their new format, and even moreso since Yahoo is discontinuing their photo storage and album service in the fall of 2007. Versions for Mac, Windows (including Vista) and Linux. You need to have a free Google account to use the album feature.
