The next step in my journey as a “techy teacher” was to build a class website. Although my class website is in its very early stages of development, it does have a homepage which has a picture of my class, a photo page where I can post photos of my students doing projects and other things, a homework page where I can post homework, and a blog page where I can post items specific to our class and ask the students for their input.
I am not sure that my class is ready to take the plunge and make their own websites (and I’m not sure their parents would want them to do that yet), but I hope to develop this site a bit more at the very least. Hopefully, some students will be intrigued enough to want to know more!
