Staff Members Learn About Creating Websites

Just a few years ago, creating a website meant using a program like Frontpage or Dreamweaver to create the pages.  Now many sites can be set up in just minutes using online tools…..you no longer need to spend time to learn complicated software.

These sites really lend themselves to education because most teachers don’t have the time or training to be full-time web masters.  Teachers want to get information “out there” for parents and students to see, but want to do it quickly.

To help our teachers and staff, Darci Love and I shared some of our favorite tools for creating websites at the Instructional Planning Center on November 22.  We showed examples of sites created on Wikispaces, Blogspot, Shutterfly, WordPress, and our own Huron School District website.

All of these sites (and many more) are free to use and can help you get connected with parents and students and get them excited about what’s happening in your classroom.

For those of you who attended the session, share your thoughts about these tools in the comments section.  I hope you found something useful to take away from the training.
