Introduction
Use this module to help yourself decide which type of web page is right for you. Learn about three types of web pages and view samples of each. Then ask yourself some questions about which one is best for your needs as an educator. Once you have decided on a style, learn how to design that page so that it is user friendly, meets your needs and makes you proud. For those who are eager to begin, there are even templates to help you get started!
At the end of this module, you will e-mail your mentor with the type of web page you plan to create.
Why develop web pages for your class?
Many teachers wonder why they should create a web page for their classroom. Below are some reasons:
- To engage students in learning
- To achieve teaching goals
- Showcase student work
- Communicate with peers
- Keep parents posted on class activities
- Extend existing lessons (updating information on these topics)
- To keep an electronic portfolio for yourself or students to view throughout the year
- Provide additional educational resources for both parents and students
Now that you have some reasons, lets get started!
