My website started off mainly as a source for students to use for gathering information. But I am starting to transform my website in to more of a collaborative environment where students can not only gather information, but share and collaborate with other students. I have recently added a discussion board for students to answer discussion prompts and ask questions or share ideas with classmates. One thing I would like to look at adding is some kind of virtual portfolio for students to add projects and assignments to share with classmates and parents. My website also has several resources for parents including class schedule, contact information, newsletter, and information on Common Core. I also have a page full of links that may be useful to other teachers.
Like I said already, I love working on my website and I am always looking for ways to improve it. So check it out here and if you have any suggestions for me, please share!
...and I really like your website because I can link my kids to it and they instantly have lots of great resources! ;). I loved Twiducate this year and I'm excited to keep using it ... But I'm also thinking that the discussion board forum I put on my website might replace some elements of that (and then I wouldn't have to deal with the finicky log in system that Twiducate has...). So we'll see!
ReplyDeleteI also thought about using a discussion board on my website also, but since we're using Canvas (like Blackboard) I'm going to be utilizing the discussion feature on that. I can see my weekly website going to the wayside if we're using Canvas. I want to look into Twiducate and see how I can utilize it with my kids. I've heard so many good things about it!
