In our presentation, my classmates and I researched “what makes a good classroom blog/website. During our first group meet-up, we all just browsed the internet and discovered what interested us. From there we each did individual research and then came back together to create our presentation.
Alannah was drawn to a website design and instantly started to create a classroom website on Jotform. These are some key points she made on the website.

Next, Kelly found interest in Google Sites and she also created a well organized and informative classroom website.

Kelly added an extra feature that I really liked and wanted to highlight it on my page. It’s called classroom screen and it has so many handy tools to use to help manage a classroom. From a timer to managing classroom noise level, this online resource can be very helpful. I hope you enjoy it as much I do!
Cassidy and I went a different way and explored more private classroom websites that work well to explore the kids’ work and communicate with their families.
Cassidy explored the platform Seesaw, which is now being added to our local district. I encourage you to go on and discover all the amazing features Seesaw has to offer. You can go on and request a demo class, so you can learn the site before showing it to your class and their families.
Finally I researched the class website Class Dojo. The cool characters are what drew me into the website because I know the kids would love creating their own avatars. Although this website is offered free, there is an option for a paid version which unlocks more features for the teacher, class, and families.
For a walk-through of how Class Dojo works, please watch and listen to the video I made for the presentation.
Please enjoy our slideshow and remember to click the links on each one to access the sites and listen to us explain everything to you 🙂
