 The Web design assignment was fun because I had never really created a website before. And it was way easier than expected. The most difficult, least fun part of the whole thing was putting a calendar. There are so many things you have to do within google calendars and then copy the code to simply apply the dates to your website.

 https://www.linkedin.com/ Linkedin always seemed like the more professional version of facebook in that many of the people you meet will be on Linkedin and that is a designated place to talk about careers. Likely you could make a group on there based on teaching in a certain area or something.
