In the past, creating a website was an activity limited to only those who had specialized hypertext markup language (HTML) and cascading style sheets (CSS) programming skills. Now, a variety of easy-to-use applications are provided free to help those without specialized knowledge to create websites. This page is an excerpt from my recently published book, Educational Technology for Teachers.
Perhaps the most common type of website in education is the class website. Teachers use class websites to serve a variety of educational functions, from keeping in touch with parents and students about class activities, to chronicling activities completed in the classroom. Class websites might feature many different items including the following:
- Assignments and homework
- Class news and announcements
- Pictures and text describing recent classroom activities
- Links to supplemental learning resources
- Personal information about the teacher, including a resume
- Class rules
- Supply lists
- Class calendars and schedules
