As I prepare to tackle my own website (Yep, I'm taking the plunge!) I thought it best to "borrow" some inspiration from several of my colleagues.

It's still a work in progress, but I'm loving the organization and drop-down menus. I'd also recommend having a look see at Learn with Team Van Pelt, another USJ graduate student who is in the midst of creating an online port
Yep, I'm swooning. Luckily for me, teaching is all about stealing swapping ideas from fellow educators, so I hope to adapt some of these handy ideas in my upcoming website. Stay tuned...
