You can create a lovely website at www.scholastic.com. It is only for teachers.

I've just begun using the free website hosting for teachers:
www.bloust.com
I haven't been using it for long, but so far it is very easy to use. It lets
you easily upload word documents and powerpoint presentations.
It won't let you use any html.
Best of luck!

I have just received a notice that Geocities - Yahoo's free web hosting
facilities - will be closing down on October 26th 2009 . We will not be
able to access information on the web which has been uploaded onto these
geocities sites. This no doubt will affect many of us.
For me personally, it is a major blow as almost everything I have ever
written for my own teaching purposes to be shared with others is up there on
my site
http://www.geocities.com/jackpillemer
I use it as my own personal "storeroom" and I know that other
teachers/pupils/passersby also pop in from time to time and take what they
wish.
I'm not sure if I will have the time or the energy to copy the whole site
(about 200 files) to another host. I do not know if I want to pay to have
the site hosted. I'm not sure yet what this all entails.
I generally created html files and parallel Word doc files so it would be
easy to simply take the material and use as is or adapt. If you have used
material from the site and didn't download it onto your own computer, and
wish to use that material again, I suggest you do so before it disappears.
Here is a list of what you can find. Of course link leads to link and you
will have to surf off the main page to find the actual files.
English teacher as civic educator - I prepared this for a teachers workshop
and never used the material myself on my pupils. On looking at the work I
did, I realise how useful it might be and how relevent it is even though it
was based on elections a while back.
The Lyrics Project - almost always works well
English through Art Project - demanding - high level but worth the effort
Reporting on Community Service "Mehuyavut Ishit" - a New Curriculum Project
for Grade X -.
Setting up English Rooms for Primary Schools in Netanya - A detailed report
on the project
Theoretical paper on the use of e-mail in English teaching.
Dead Poets' Society - using the movie to teach literature
Time for a laugh - funny stuff to use for teaching
Teaching English through Content-based instruction (CBI) focusing on
Civics - see part on Declaration of Israeli Independence
Holocaust Memorial Day Activity for upper grades
MECA - Middle East Children Association- some matrerial and ideas on
bringing Israeli and Palestinian teachers and pupils closer
Boyar High school English site- some of the new material on the school site
may also disappear as it is linked to the Geocities site
Romeo and Juliet - This detailed program for teaching the play is on ETNI so
it will not disappear
