Design a Website/Virtual Classroom

 

Design and create a website that can be used as an extension of your classroom.  The website should have a clearly stated purpose and content relevant to your teaching assignment.  It should be easy to use and maintain, well organized, appealing to students, and functional.  You can use one or more of the following free services, or others that you know of that are not included on this list:

Wikis:

http://pbworks.com

http://www.wikispaces.com/

http://www.mediawiki.org

 

Blogs:

http://www.blogger.com

http://wordpress.com/

http://blog.com/

 

Website Builders:

http://www.webs.com/

http://www.wix.com

 

Some specific features to consider including are a home page, hyperlinks/navigation tools, a calendar, assignments, discussion forums, and contact information.  Also consider design factors such as color, text, graphics, and multimedia that will set the tone of your website.  Ensure that all (or as many as possible) of the resources and tools required for your unit of study are available to students from your website.  When the website is complete, it can be handed in by emailing the URL to the instructor along with any supplementary notes that you may want to include regarding the process of making the site, its contents, functionality, etc.
