My Website Plan
The website that I will be designing will be for the Northeastern FFA chapter that I am advisor of for our school district. The site will assist me in communicating with parents, students, and other FFA advisers. This site will also be linked the Northeastern High School site.
I would like the site to give information that would help students get results from competitions as soon as they are posted. I would also like the site to have important dates listed that the students need so that they could keep on top of deadlines for shows and events. I feel that this would make me more efficient, as I would spend less time on the phone with students and parents giving updates.
The site needs to give updates to our booster organization listing meetings and events. I hope that this would cut down on the letters that I send home to parents letting them know of meeting dates and activities that they have planned.
The overall feel of the site should promote what the students do in and out of the classroom. I would like there to be pictures of the students doing work and competing in competitions.
The colors should reflect the colors of FFA, which are Blue and Gold.

I would also like the FFA emblem on the home page with a hyper link to the Ohio FFA site.
I already have a start on the site. It was set up by our tech aid at the school. The password and address were given to me so that I could start working on it. I will try to do all of this with Frontpage, because this is what I have on my computer at home and at school. I am open to ideas and any creative things that I can do to make the site better.

Some of the concerns I have are associated with the things that I am allowed to put on the web, such as students pictures or copyrighted music.

Sounds like you have a great start and plan to your website. I can't wait to see what you have planned.
As for the copyright music and pictures of students. Anything you use for an educational purpose, you usually never have to have permission to use. To be on the safe side, you can find the producer/music lable and contact them. Tell them what you are doing and ask if you can use that music. You are not making a profit off of the website by using that music, so it should be no problem.
As for the students, I am not completely sure. I do not know all the legal stuff on that. However, you could create a form stating you have their permission, as well as the parents permission (if they are underage) to use their photo/image on your educational website. That should cover everything. If you still are not forsure about it, talk to your administrator, and see what they say.
Hope this helps!
I really like your idea of designing a site for your FFA organization. What better way to get information to your students and their parents. I was wondering if you planned on allowing your students to help keep it updated? I also enjoyed seeing the picture that you posted of your group. Them look like quite the bunch!
I too like your idea to keep parents and students updated, and for parents to get a glimpse of what is going on. As for using the media, the best thing to do would just be to give credit on the site to what you used, whether it be images, music or movies.
There's nothing that says you can't put your students' pictures online, but just to be safe, I would not caption the photos using the students' last names, even with parental permission, unless absolutely necessary.
