MY FIRST EVER CLASSROOM WEB PAGE !
The very first time I created a Web Page for my classroom it was such a huge difference between what I have created now that I even amazed myself.! But again at the time my knowledge on computers was limited to use them as a good "typewriter". But I was a happy camper because I had a place online to showcase my students' accomplishments, their pictures while on lab activities, their projects and all the things a proud teacher likes to brag about! So I was happy with it. Today is a different story, 1st- my students mostly are seniors, ready to become college guys, and 2nd - my knowledge about computers has come a long way. So my words to all of us, lets start this journey of class pages with our students with baby steps and then next year we can run for the gold ! For those who are wondering how to use it, start with just having a home for your class with basic info about you and your students, maybe a picture of the whole class with you. Or maybe use it for showcase, whatever the use let us not try to win the gold on our first try. Most important Lets have fun also with it! We deserve it !

You said "a place online to showcase my students' accomplishments, their pictures while on lab activities, their projects and all the things a proud teacher likes to brag about! So I was happy" I think this is an excellent point. Sometimes one could get "lost" with bells and whistles on some webpages, but making it geared to your classroom and to the point definitely has its advantages. I'm excited to get into the classroom and create a webpage because I definitely think it offers an excellent opportunity for parents, students, and the teacher to view what is going on in the classroom. Has your class seen your page yet?
