Websites in the Classroom

Creating the website for classroom use was a fun experience. It is fun to be able to change any part of the website and add pictures and different pages that visitors of the website can navigate to. There was not much difficulty in creating the website other than trying to make sure the pictures were sized correctly in order to be shown on the website. I enjoyed finding websites to add to my resources page and creating a bio about myself with links to other websites. I would like to implement this in my classroom with the students daily homework assignments, a calendar with when their quizzes, tests, and assignments are and with pictures from classroom activities. This way the parents can be informed about the information that I am presenting in class, keep up with their child's assignments, and also view what their children are doing in the classroom. This is also a way for the child to become more independent and check on their assignments from home. I think it would also be neat to have an interactive spreadsheet on the website or even a webquest that the students could participate in for a grade. They could even submit their work by e-mail and then I could grade them and give them back. The website seems to have endless options and I am excited to use it in the classroom!
