Everything on it is fake (names of students, etc.) but the idea is there! I was planning on using Sites through Google, but I have to say it was pretty tough to figure out. Maybe when I have more time, I can navigate my way through it. Weebly, however, was very straightforward. I appreciated the ease of the website.
The useful thing for classes is to embed a Google Calendar like I did. You can update one calendar for classroom dates, like field trips and homework, while another calendar can be for the school or district. It is incredibly easy to add new dates. When I was student teaching, while students were packing up, we would fill out our planners and update our website with homework at the same time. This way, students could get a reminder of their homework at the end of the day. If they forgot what their homework was, they could look it up on the classroom website. (Although, by some weird chance, students STILL forgot to do homework!) :)
What other items are useful in a classroom website? I want ideas, people!
