The links below are mostly to websites I have designed or that I maintain (or am attempting to maintain, as it seems so often). I work on some of these much more often than others, so some will be more current.
Lanier Middle School: This is where I taught for 23 years. I designed and maintained two websites for the school. Our first one was at Rice University, but everything there has been moved to the Houston ISD server. Lanier's second website is at the Houston Independent School District. They looked alike and worked together, but they were on completely separate servers at two different locations. The link below is to the HISD server. Note: I have had no control over it since August, 2002, so...........

GirlTECH:
GirlTECH is now called Teacher Tech. It's a two-week course I help teach
at Rice University in the summers. The main site is massive, and a good
lesson-plan resource.
GirlTECH (my pages): The web pages below are just my section of the main GirlTECH/TeacherTECH site.

A
Shared Experience: In 1996, I was hired by the Texas
Historical Commission (thanks to my good friend, Don Perkins), to create an HTML
version of a book about the 200-mile heritage corridor along the Rio Grande
known as Los Caminos del Rio. Mario Sanchez edited this wonderful book
about the history and architecture of this region, and I'm very grateful to have
been a part of bringing it to the Web.

Reflective Portfolio Website: In January of 2000, at a
Portfolio Conference in Boston, someone asked the question, "Now, how do we
bring this to a wider audience?". Realizing that my plate was too
full already, I stood up anyway and said something inane like, "Why don't
you create a web site for the group?".

Web
Developing: This is probably my least developed site.
I started it several years ago, with the thought that I might be able to design
websites when I retired (several years from now). I haven't done much
with it, but if I ever get the time.........

BHS Reunion Website: Janice Rutledge Moore, one of my former
high school classmates, e-mailed me one day (late in 1999) and said she'd found
my address on the Web. She told me about the upcoming reunion (in October
of 2000). After a few e-mails back and forth, we were searching the Web,
recruiting people (although she'd already done some of that), and creating a
website. Everyone had a good time at the reunion, so we kept the website,
in anticipation of the next one. I turned this site over to Janice sometime
in 2001.

Mikey's Canadian Business Trip/Vacation:
This began as an attempt to document a trip my school sent several of us
on. We were researching reform models of education, and spent a week in
Alberta, visiting schools. I've since been on several similar trips, so
I'm thinking of changing the name and adding some other educational trip reports
to the Canadian one. One of these days...

Mikey's
Summer Vacations: These are true vacations, attempts to avoid
the Houston summer heat. It is also woefully behind schedule. I
keep taking more trips, but not catching the website up.

Mikey's
Trips: This is a modified version, here on EV1, of the Summer
Vacations Pages (more like a photo album than a travelogue. It should be easier
to maintain. Maybe I'll actually get more stuff up there. Maybe.

I'm also toying with the idea of catching all of the websites up to a certain point and turning them over to someone else. I'd like to work on a personal/educational website that would incorporate the idea of reflective practice. The web site is actually started, but I won't link to it for a while. I've been reading a number of James Burke's books (and have been a long-time fan of his television series'), and think the way he describes the connections between events would be ideal for the Web. I'd like to attempt something like that with my reflective practice site.
