Over this semester, we have gradually been creating a classroom website that can be used in our future classrooms. I created my site using Google Sites. Here's a link to the website: https://sites.google.com/site/mskingsclassroom1/.
Google Sites was a very easy program to use to create my website even though some tasks required trial and error. Some of the difficulties I had included formatting text that I copied from assignments and editing major layout items such as the last date revised, but after spending some time working on these issues, I was able to make the site look just how I wanted it to. And some things that I found particularly easy to do were inserting pictures and links.
One aspect of the project that I thought was especially beneficial is that we created and compiled our websites over the whole course of the semester. And we connected each project or assignment to our website in some way.
Google sites could be used in my future classroom as a way to communicate with parents and students. Having a classroom website gives parents access to important classroom information at any time. It also provides resources and extra academic practice for students. For these reasons, I think classroom websites are a necessary part of a classroom.
