Google Sites

https://sites.google.com/site/flowers3rdgradeclassroom/home

The link above will lead to a website I created using Google Sites. I have never created a website before, so I was a little stressed during this assignment. However, it turned out to be easier than I thought it would be. It is basically what my high school Trig teacher would refer to as "Plug-n-Chug". There's a basic template you can choose from (what a relief) and then plug in the information you wish to have on your website. 

Having a classroom website would be an extremely beneficial tool to have in an Elementary Classroom. As a teacher I could upload classroom rules, a schedule and even materials the students would need in the classroom. Students could log on at submit assignments to the website. Parents could log in and receive up to date information on their child's progress all year long as well as be able to learn more about person educating their child this school year.


This would adhere to the first NETS-T standard that teachers would facilitate and inspire student learning and creativity by promoting, supporting, and modeling creative and innovative thinking and inventiveness. The students learning would be supported by easy access for parental involvement.
