Thing 5. Create and Maintain a Teacher Web Page

My New Year's Resolution vis a vis teaching is to maintain an up-to-date teacher web page. So far, my web page is rudimentary and does not yet contain anything that will be of any real use to students, parents, or colleagues. other than my basic contact information. I am planning to feature a video on a weekly (at least) basis concerning relevant current events and/or historical events. As of yet, I am having difficulty figuring out how to use Urban Planet to link up videos to my site. Also, I would like to feature, again on at least a weekly basis, an article or essay concerning either relevant current events and/or historical events. Again, my ability to establish links is lacking. Also, my website will contain the weekly schedule for my various classes. Finally, as a history teacher, my website will contain the state standards for United States History. My recommendations for teachers attempting to set up a website is to find someone experienced in setting up websites, tellling them exactly what items you want on your website, and then work with that person for several hours until you feel comfortable doing the work yourself--otherwise, hire a webmaster (lol). . .drfaust
