  1. Classroom Website Choices

  2. Key Considerations • One-way or Two-way communication • Supported Features • Ease of Use • Student Access

  3. Teacher Landing Pages Every teacher will have a “landing page” which will be created for them in Sharepoint. 3 Choices • Only have a landing page • Develop out your landing page into a site to hold all the resources that you want to share with students, parents and the public • Create a separate classroom website and link to it on your Sharepoint landing page

  4. Sharepoint • One-way communication • Many features available (including video, audio) • Ease of Use: Steep learning curve • No student login required http://sharepoint-test.k12albemarle.org/school/CAES/Classrooms2/sampleteachersite/Pages/default.aspx

  5. Creating a Non-Sharepoint Website You have several choices • Google Sites • Weebly • Word Press • WikiSpaces • Edmodo (2-way) • Blackboard (2-way)

  6. Google Sites • One-way Communication (2-way if you incorporate other Google apps) • Many features (including video, surveys) • Fairly easy to use • No log in required Example Site: https://sites.google.com/a/k12albemarle.org/mrs-effland-s-class/ Click here for a Demo...

  7. Weebly • One-way (unless you pay) • No audio or video upload on the free version (but you can link to YouTube videos) • Very easy to use (clearly labeled drag-and-drop interface) • No student login on the free version Sample Site: http://srmichelle.weebly.com/index.html Weebly for Education: http://education.weebly.com/ Pro Account ($40/year) features Click here for a Demo...

  8. Word Press • Primarily used as a blogging tool, but you can change settings to make it act like a traditional webpage • One-way communication (although it does give the ability to comment on posts) • You can upload video, pics, audio and pdf files. You cannot upload Word or Powerpoint files. • The file size max is 8 MB. • Word Press has a fairly easy to learn interface. http://screencast.com/t/fDRQWHfIqRl

Blackboard • Two-way Communication • Many features including embedded YouTube videos, tests, assignments, journals, discussion boards and more • Fairly easy to use, although the number of choices may feel confusing at first • Students must log in to access the course.
