At a first glace: This mapping won't work. (Or is going to be tricky)
The path statement of the share allway defines the first part of the 
Unix-Path to the file, the path after the drive letter the secend 
part. And so you some how get problems leaving out the "web" in the 
path.

But you can define a share [my_web] with path = /home/%u/web in 
smb.conf, map this share to L: with %u as teacher1 an access the file 
with L:\foo.html. May be you have to use %U.

Or simply use [homes] with out any path and share the home 
Directories completly (I asume /home/teacher1 is the home directory) 
and access L:\web\foo.html

For general advice about samba look at the docs that come with the 
source, at samba.org escecially the PDF-Howto and at the books about 
samba. One comes as html with the source.
