Teacher Websites

Many of you probably have your teachers create a teacher website (one that mimics what they would want their future classroom website to look like). In W200, at Indiana University, students create a website that includes assignments from across the semester. For example, the teacher websites include teacher presentations, student examples, newsletters, welcome avatars, resources, calendars and more.

We use Google Sites for students to create their website which allows us to embed a wide range of resources (Google Docs, YouTube, PDF documents, images, Glogster, Xtranormal, etc). In order to make this work, we have a template, checklist, and rubric which helps assist in this process.

Here are some great example pieces:







Have a look and let us know what you think, or if you have any additional resources you'd like to share!

  1. Give teachers empowering tools to create, and wonderful things can happen!
    I have found that some teachers thrive in this creative environment, while others seek (often technical) support, feedback and encouragement. As teacher educators, we have to be able to meet the needs of all of these novice or future teachers.
    The increasing number of tools also forces us to explore and experiment - modeling what all teachers have to do in this creative and technology-rich time.
