Here is an example of what teachers created for this assignment (Be aware that we have some major revisions on our project requirements and rubric as well this semester. So these sites may not fit the new rubric very well. But it should give you some ideas what your site could focus on…) https://sites.google.com/site/jahotmire/home (Links to an external site.)
What to Submit
Submit the link to your website to M2: Educator’s Website by the due date.
Alternative Option
Teachers come to EDTL 6120 with various technology backgrounds. While some teachers are new to web development, others have efforts well underway. If you have already developed website before and have a similar personal site like the one described above, send the link to your site to me. You may take this opportunity to explore something new.
after you done all the above answer this question in separate section
Do you think is important that you create a website for your classroom and your students (or maybe parents)? Why or why not? Provide evidence for your response and give an example of what you might create, if you believe having a web presence as a teacher is important.
