So,now that you have a web site, what are you going to do with it?
Model/Display your site -
Get your web site in front of your students as often as you can. One way to do this is to use your site to as a centerpiece of your instruction in your classroom. The more often you make use of your site, the more your students will see the value of the information you have posted there.
Focus your energies on the tools your students need -
Every classroom is different and will have different needs. Look for ways to use your web site to deliver the resources your students need.
Post commonly used reference sheets on your site. (formula sheets, periodic tables, time lines, etc.) Consider passing out a copy of this reference only ONCE for students. If they lose it, they can go to the web, and replace it themselves.
Post alternative resources for students with different learning styles (many of which are available free online)
audio resources that mirror student reading assignments
visual resources that support students with reading or math activities
online tools for reinforcing curriculum related learning
Develop a web page instead of a hand out. Use the web page as your teaching tool and show students how to find it.
Create presentations or handouts in Google Docs and publish the final product to the web for kids to access.
Instead of using bookmarks to organize your websites, use your web page. This way, you model for students both these highlighted sites as well as how to easily find them.
Maintenance -
It is important to keep you site current for your visiting audience. With that said, your time is better spent growing your online resources than repeating what you have done before. Think about how you can create ways to make it possible to reuse schedules and information from term to term so that you need to invest as little as possible in this area.
