I'm not sure if we're supposed to be posting about what we talked about in class, or just something about what we've learned about technology in general. As far as creating websites goes, I'm unsure if I'll ever use a class website, and I will never use it as the only source of information for my class. There is always one student who doesn't have easy access to a computer or the internet, and as much a people like to quote statistics about the number of people with computers and internet access, my experience in the schools has told me that you will never have everyone in a class with internet access. So if I do a class website, it will only be something of a reminder of things that have been discussed or given out in class.
One way a website may be helpful is as a publicity resource. I found this website, that gives performance information about the school's production. As far as getting information out to the community, a website would be one more way to publicize information, and keep it all in one place. i also found another website that displays the rehearsal schedule and production information for those involved in the production. Again, I would not have this as my only rehearsal schedule, but it would be an option for students to get information.

Liz, I think having multiple options is best--I agree! Using just paper handouts will miss those families that can't keep track of a piece of paper to save their lives, and using just the Internet will, for now, exclude some folks. The best approach I feel is doing both, because all it usually takes is a quick cut and paste.
