Embedded Files
There are several benefits in creating and maintaining a Web Presence. First and foremost, it allows teachers to share digital content with students for 24/7 availability. Further, teachers can set-up interactive experiences for students to collaborate and communicate both synchronously and asynchronously.
This course leverages two ed-tech tools, Google Sites and Edmodo. Google Sites allows me to share content and provide a structure to students' learning experiences. Edmodo allows me to set up an interactive space where ideas are exchanged. There are many options for establishing a Web Presence. You are welcome to use Edmodo, Google Classroom, or some other alternatives like Schoology, Blackboard, Canvas, Haiku, etc.
