Websites

I have never known how to create a website before. I knew that there were ways for teachers to create their own websites for their classrooms but I was unsure how to do it or if it would be easy to develop and maintain one. As we attempted to use the Google hosting site I was getting frustrated at having limited control over what the appearance of the site was. In order to have slightly more freedom regarding the appearance I decided to switch over to the Weebly hosting site. 

Weebly was not only appealing to my visual tastes, as far as layout and setting adjustments were concerned, and it was very simple to use. I enjoyed setting up my own website for my hypothetical classroom. I think a website for a classroom or teacher is very helpful for students. Many, if not the majority, of students know how to access websites on the Internet. Therefore, students could use a classroom website as a resource in they have any questions, particularly if the teacher keeps up to date on the website and posts homework and other resources. Although a website can be very useful, it also requires quite a bit of work on the teachers end in order to keep it up to date on what is occurring in the classroom.
