Creating A Website

We are going to be creating websites for class and I wonder how well I will be able to keep up in this process. I know now, what kind of website I want to create. I hope to parallel the content with my course project for my Assessment and Evaluation class.
We will need to create a lesson with two assessments, the first as a pretest or formative assessment and the second acting as a summative assessment. Because I plan to distribute my assessments to 10 adults instead of within a classroom, where teaching the corresponding lesson would be included in the process, I am going to use my website to post the content of my lesson. I will use brochures with information to give each person I am assessing but also offer the website for them to use in learning the information in lieu of my instructing them.
In class we did our NETS presentations on powerpoint. Suffice to say, I think our group did well on presenting a good pair of slides but none of the group members actually prepared to present. Because I did all the work on the powerpoint slides I thought it would only be fair for other members to take some part in the presentation. When asked if I would present the content I politely declined. Last week was a very bad week, I was so exhausted that I could barely keep up with what we were working on and at this point do not really remember all that we discussed by the time we started working on websites. Hopefully this week will be much more fruitful and clear.
Things to find out tomorrow: Will our websites be the same ones we created for class? When will these be due vs. our presentations? Very confused right now about what projects lie ahead.
