Internet Communications

Now that you've learned about and discussed a variety of internet teaching tools, your assignment is to create an example of a website you could use as a teacher. This website will have two purposes. First, it will be the first draft of something you could use as a teacher when you graduate. For that reason, we would like your website to look clean and professional and contain examples of instructional materials you might have on your website. However, we won’t be actually grading those instructional materials. So, for example, you should put your syllabus on your website, but it can be an empty document that says “this is my syllabus”—when you actually begin teaching, you would put your real syllabus in that placeholder.

The second purpose for your website is to be your professional portfolio where you store the technology projects you create in the IPT 371 courses, so you can use them in your job interviewing and put your website on your resume. Thus, for our class, you will create a section on your website called “portfolio” and put all the projects you create this semester on new pages within this section.

Note: If you already know how to make a website, or feel you wouldn’t use a website that much, you can complete this project using Versal or Edmodo.
