In
the digital world that we live in, a web site will almost be a
requirement for your future classroom. Assume that you have decided to
create a classroom web site. What types of pages would you include and
what would each page be used for? What information do you think would be
the most important to include on your site? How will you make sure you
implement elements of good design on your web site? Include a link to a classroom webpage that catches your eye and why you might want to use it as a model for your future site.
I would definitely have a blog or some time of website for my parents and students to access. I think it's important for teachers to have this for students so that they can contact the teacher easily, learn more information about her and keep up with what's going on in the classroom! I would make sure to have a page that told about me (for the beginning of the year) with my e-mail, a page that had the current newsletter on it, and the blog I looked at has the vocab words for the week on it which is a great idea! As long as the blog is kept up to date I think it's a great tool to use in the classroom. I could make posts about what we are doing from day to day in the classroom. The blog below has pictures of fun things they're doing in the classroom or on field trips. SO cool!
I would definitely make sure the blog "flowed" and was easy to navigate. Like we talked about in class today, I'd make sure the colors and layout are visually pleasing.

The layout on this blog is cute! I also love that she posts pictures of their field trips and in class activites. Having the vocab words on there is a great idea to keep parents informed! Love it!
