When teaching in online environments, utilizing a teacher website may be helpful for establishing an online presence with students, families, and stakeholders. A teacher website can serve as a central hub for creating community and supporting classroom-to-home communication. Using a teacher website, either independently or in conjunction with a Learning Management System (LMS), allows a teacher to distribute class-specific information, share resources, collect feedback, create connections with students, and communicate with families and stakeholders.
When visiting a teacher’s website, what content do I find to be most relevant to students, families, and stakeholders?
What types of important information and/or instructional needs do I need to communicate with my students, families, and stakeholders?
What functions are available within websites that could support communication and instructional opportunities with students, families, and stakeholders?
