This class is designed for teachers who currently do not have a classroom web site and are interested in creating one. Participants will learn what makes a good web site, how to add aesthetic objects, and how to provide downloadable documents and audio files. Each week participants will receive hands-on experience in learning the applications presented. In the end, participants will have a working web site they can use as a productive communication tool.
This is a 6-week online course worth two graduate credits. Participants should plan to spend approximately 5 hours per week completing the work for this course.
