Web Sities and GoogleSites

            Websites are a great tool for educators. Websites are a great way for teachers to be creative and show their personalities to the parents. Websites help the parents stay up to-date with the class. Parents are able to see important dates that are coming up, personal achievements of the teacher, a biography of the teachers, and find a description of the class. Websites can be a great source for parents who like to stay involved with the school and with the class.

            GoogleSites are also a great tool for educators. GoogleSites have wonderful tools that the teacher can use to make documents, slides, calendars, sheets, blogs, and so much more. GoogleSite is a great place to use these tools and it is free. All you have to do is create a google account and you will have access to these things and an email account. GoogleSites will also have the information you have created, like documents, sheets, and slides, saved under that category. Once you have created documents, slides, or sheets you can change to a PowerPoint, Word, Spreadsheet, Rich Text, and other types of formats.

            Teachers can exhibit knowledge, skills, and work processes representative of an innovative professional in a global and digital society. Teachers can do this by using blogs, websites, and GoogleSites. Teachers can collaborate with students, parents, and community members by using digital tools and resources to support student success and innovation. Websites and GoogleSites can have access to a calendar that parents and students can see what is happening that month and what assignments are due. I think parents would like that access because sometimes children leave planners and homework sheets at home. I think this would help everyone by keeping people informed.
