Do you want to collaborate and share resources with other teachers on-line?

Do you want to create a webpage where students can access resources and information?

Do you want a network where parents can find information and resources that can help them support their child at home?

Using a web page to communicate and post information is a wonderful way to create a collaborative space for teachers, students and parents. Schools administrators and teachers, collaboratively, can create a school website where educators can post information and share resources with one another.

A great example of this practice is the website developed by Mariely Sanchez, a 4th grade teacher in North Miami, FL. For information on how to build your own website and many other teaching resources, visit Teacher’s Corner at: http://sanchezclass.com/home.htm
