Websites in the classroom are an excellent idea! They can be used for a very wide variety of reasons, all which benefit the students, parents, and educators. I think the most important way that websites can be used is for communication. Teachers can post assignments for students who have missed school. Websites can also be used to keep parents informed of what is going on in the classroom. Things like class projects, volunteer sign-ups, up coming events, and other need to know items can all be put on the website to keep parents informed. Even more general things like school calendars, supply lists, and PTA information are beneficial to place on a classroom website.
Another great way to implement websites in the classroom is to post student work. A website is a fantastic way to display students work. If work is posted, parents can view their students work, and even share it with family who don't live in the area. This gives students the motivation to work hard on their work because they know it will be displayed somewhere.
As a future teacher, I am very excited about having a website for my classroom, I have already started working on one and I will post it here when it comes together more!
