Web Site Question

I need help with something and I hope someone else out there has the answer. I am currently working on my website. It is a website devoted to my varsity baseball team at Sayreville H.S. The website has team information such as the team roster, schedule, practice times and fundraising information. However there are built in tabs that I cannot seem to change that do not pertain to my website such as homework and reading lists. Is this web page builder just specific to classroom teachers? Does anyone know if I can change these and make them more specific to my website or am I stuck with these? If anyone can be of assistance I would greatly appreciate it!

Web Site Creation

Today I started to create my website. As I began I was very excited to create my website. I was moving along pretty well, had plenty of great ideas, but stumbled as I tried to add images. Then I got bumped out of the sight and couldn't get back in. Once I got back in some of my information had disappeared! I am starting to get that same anxious feeling that I felt initially with building the webquest. Hopefully I will work out the kinks and get the hang of it. I am looking forward to building a web page for my varsity baseball team. Wish me luck and good luck to all of you creating yours!

Blogging

I am quickly becoming a fan of blogging. This class was my first experience at blogging and I am really starting to enjoy it and am starting to see the educational possibilities that can arise from blogging. Looking through the two blogging sites in Module 4, I really started to think about ways that I can possibly incorporated blogging in my health classes. The opportunities are endless! I believe that blogging can be a tremendous tool for my high school students to express themselves and apply knowledge that is being learned in class. Class participation can really extend beyond the classroom! I really believe that blogging in the near future will be a commonplace in many classrooms throughout the world.
