Re: QUIA.COM

[Robert Eiffert <beiffert@ATTBI.COM>]

There was a recent thread on EdTech about the change from free to charge
and possible alternatives. Archives at http://www.h-net.msu.edu/~edweb,
do a search for Quia.

Some that were suggested

http://school.discovery.com/quizcenter/quizcenter.html

http://halfbakedsoftware.com/

http://Funbrain.com

I think there was a recent thread on WWWEDU also (Archive at
www.edwebproject.org/wwwedu.archive.html). Seemed to be down when I just
checked though

There also were some discussions about student privacy and registration
issues a while ago. These were about many different services on-line.
You might do well to have a thorough look (or your school attorney OK)
on privacy policies before signing up.

Hi: This one isn't free but it's pretty cheap: Homestead.com  and it's
$50 for a year.  Info is at:
http://www.homestead.com/PersonalSplash.ffhtml?TARGET=/~site/MainSplashe
s/GetStartedLO.ffhtml

I use their "Personal" version for our Media Center's web site and have
found it very easy to work with. Cheap at less than a buck a week. She
might find it worth the money in the sense that it won't be going out of
business (knock on wood) so all their work won't be in vain. I used free
sites previously, and got really frustrated when they went under and all
my work was lost. Homestead lets you transfer existing Web pages into
their site, so she won't lose anything.
