Creating Teacher Web Pages (Other Than School Wires)

[|Weebly] - this will be the focus of our session, with a glimpse into other website resources  If you are looking to either create a classroom website or want to provide students with an easy to learn webpage creator, Weebly is the site for you. Weebly uses a drag and drop interface that takes about 10 -15 minutes to learn. Weebly also provides users with the ability to easily change the look and feel of a site. They will host your site and provide a free sub-domain name so you and others can find your site online. Weebly also allows users to create a site and download it so you may place it on your own website, in a Blackboard site or save as an archive. Use Weebly to create your classroom website, as a simple way to create Webquests and as a means for students to create web-based projects for any curricular area.





[|Pageflakes] Pageflakes is an easy, yet professional way to bring your classroom to the web. Use Pageflakes to help stay organized, share web resources, post announcements, images, schedules, and assignments for students and parents. Bring in RSS feeds from news sources, student podcasts, add a dictionary, live webpage and even search via Google all from the same page. You may even create multiple pages with individual tabs to add even more to your site. Pageflakes may be kept private, shared with specific people or it may be open to anyone. Pageflakes may also be constructed collectively. Pageflakes is a great way to extend your classroom.

[|Tizmos] Tizmos is a web-based, personalized homepage that allows you to "see" your chosen web addresses from any location. Each "Tizmo" looks and acts like a Post-it note linked to the web that can be dragged and dropped, edited, or deleted. Tizmos can also be set to open as your home page so you are reminded of interesting sites. This is a great tool to use as a quick access when presenting to students. •
