Our district is huge on moodle but it is not reliable with our network. Weebly has also come up. Thank you for another resource. I have been thinking about making a site for years, but haven't committed. I thought by making it part of a plan, I would be more motivated to set aside the time. Thank you again for your comment. I will be sure to check that out.Mrs. Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08667743122376524149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6248328338906501967.post-1533638836026986712012-03-11T07:40:22.486-07:002012-03-11T07:40:22.486-07:00Hey, creating a classroom website is a fantastic w...Hey, creating a classroom website is a fantastic way to initiate parent and student communication. I know that many teachers resist building a site because it’s one more thing that they have to keep updated, but a well-designed classroom site will ultimately make your life much easier in the long run. You can post student work, handouts, newsletters, and you can also maintain an events calendar. You can post homework and classwork, and upcoming tests, so the students have no excuses for not being prepared. My county uses Wordpress for teacher websites, and there is also a way for you to subscribe your parents to your site so that they will get an automatic email every time you create a post. It is also very easy to setup a Wordpress site for student blogging. Regardless of how you decide to build your site, it’s good that you want to build one. I had a site for my 7th grade class several years ago and in a three year period I had over ten-thousand hits. I really sold my site to the students and parents, and encouraged them to access the site. You can even post student and parent resource links. In today’s day and age, it’s essential that teachers have a classroom website!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
