1 February - Google Part 2

This last week we learned about Google sites and what you can do with it. Well I thought that it was awesome! We had to create our own classroom website through Google sites. We learned all the different options that are available to you through Google to share with your classroom.

As a teacher this means that I will be able to have a website for my class that is easily accessible for my students and their parents and that I will have a place not only to save some trees (instead of sending home weekly or monthly newsletters), but to have an easy place for me to upload things such as homework assignments, announcements, upcoming events and other things that my students and their parents might want to know about me, what is going on in the classroom and what their student should be doing.

I think that having a Google site not only allows easy access to information for your students and their parents, but also to other teachers. You can put anything from lesson plans to other awesome links and information that other teachers may not have. Which I think is a really great option to have as a teacher, because sometimes its hard to come up with fun and interesting lessons or ideas for class.
