Students can also get 250 MB's of free server space here http://freehostia.com
I recommend these folks because they provide their free service without banners or advertising code embedded into your hard work. Learn how to get an account and FTP to it with my 3 min. movie

IMPORTANT: Get the following REQUIRED WEB120 MATERIALS before our 2nd class (January 6th, Wednesday) begins ...

  1. Activate your SCCC Google Apps account (Learn how here)
     
  2. 1 USB Thumb Drive - this is your transport (digital files) tool.
  3. USB Headset with a microphone - This has become an expected "tool of our trade". We will be learning how to communicate "live/real-time" online so you can be better prepared to communicate with your peers and customers. I recommend the "USB" types and I also offer online assistance outside our scheduled classtime using this device.
  4. 2 Textbooks - Our class textbooks are available in our SCCC Bookstore but can also be purchased elsewhere, if you're not bound to campus funding concerns.
