The resources you are supplying is fantastic! I add all of your websites to my delicious account and I cannot wait to hear more about what you use in your internship. Quick question, out of the ones listed do you have a personal favourite for one that would be easy to change/alter by the students?
I have made several websites using Weebly.com so that one is my favourite. A lot of the ones I listed have drag and drop elements (wix and weebly) making them super easy to work with. I would recommend those ones for working with students.
Thanks for the great resources, Anne.
I've bookmarked many of them. One of my cautions re. the Classroom Website for guidelines to build sites--is that there seems to be no mention of keeping information that would allow individual students to be identified--offline. That should always be a primary consideration especially when dealing with students in elementary-middle school years.
