My classroom website has come a long way since I made my first one several years ago. Initially I made my website to let parents know what was going on in our classroom and to have some links handy for my students. Over the past year I have made a lot of changes that I think have made my site more useful for everyone. I have videos for parents and students to watch of concepts being taught and current trends in education. I have put links for custom searches my students use in their research. I even use a file cabinet for sight word phrases for others to download. My classroom website has transformed into much more than a newsletter. It has become an interactive place for people all to visit. I know that I still have a long way to go but I am headed in the right direction.
I would love to incorporate my blog into my site and discuss upcoming things in our classroom. One thing that I tried, unsuccessfully, last year that I am hoping to do again this year with better luck is to have a book for my students to listen to or read online then respond to for their homework. I also need to do a much better job keeping my site up to date, I seem to fall off keeping it updated about mid year.... Like I said, it's a work in progress.
