• How does this incorporate into a Blended
Learning environment?
• How can I use it in my current
environment?
• How will it improve student learning and
achievement?
3. Why use a website?
The website will become your Classroom Hub!
Classroom Resource Center - for you to store lessons, videos, assignments, and
other materials
Place the materials here on your website for lessons. You can organize the
resources how you see fit; by lesson, topic, objectives, etc.
Communication - from you to the parents, from you to the students, and vice versa
You can place the most up-to-date information regarding lessons, field trips, and
projects in a website.
It's Accessible - for students, parents, colleagues
They can easily locate information regarding your classroom.
4. How do I make my website effective?
Your website will be a "living, breathing thing" that you will
constantly change and monitor throughout the school year.
