computerdisc-l: student web pages

[Cassandra Shidler <cas@olemiss.edu>]

I want advice about student created web pages.  Although we haven't got
to it yet, I would like to use Netscape Composer for students to create
their own web pages.  Currently, students are creating Hyperstudio
projects that are autobiographical in nature.  This was to lead to
personal web pages via Netscape Composer.  I am torn as to whether or
not to let these pages be "live" on the Internet or just save them to my
server so that no "bad" people can get to any student information.  If I
just save the pages to my server, students will not be able to view
their pages from anywhere else but my classroom.  The curriculum says do
it, but we're adviced not to let any personal student information be
advertised on the Internet.  Meanwhile, I have students that already
have personal web pages created from home (without me) via other sources
like Angelfire and Homestead.  What do you think?
