Option 5: Online Class Website

This module of the course will explore the use of several "template-driven" web development services that are currently available to educators. These services do not require the use of additional software and can be created or edited with your web browser.

Creating a classroom web page or web site using these services is a simple matter of "filling in the blanks" and selecting from template options. The resulting webpage/website is typically "published" and available online within moments after you complete it.

Take a look at each of the following options:

District-Provided Web Services

SchoolNotes

TeacherWeb

Scholastic Class Homepage Builder

Blog

Google Sites

Google Page Creator
(This service is no longer available.)

Several of these services are offered to educators in a free, advertising-supported version or 30-day trial version with hopes that you will later subscribe to the subscription version of the service. You do not need to feel obligated to purchase the subscription upgrade. The free or trial versions will sufficient to meet the course requirements.

Another Option: You will also be able to use an existing webpage/website if we can verify that you have edited or added new content during the time in which you were enrolled in this course. If you already have a webpage/website, send me the URL (web address) and we can discuss the options.

When you have decided which of these options you would like to use, send me <bjost@josts.net> an e-mail message informing me of your choice. Include the words "webpage design A" in the subject.

Note: The software specific web development options (Options 1, 2, 3, & 4) have been retired. The tutorials have been archived and are still available for reference by former course participants who might need them.
