What is it?

A free tool for teachers to create their own website

What do I use it for?

A place to keep all kinds of class information for students to easily access.

How do I use it?

I built my slowly over the years, adding more content and ideas as I went.  I started out with a home page and then added chapter with links to my Powerpoint notes for students to get if they were absent.  I also added links to video clips we watched in class and links to websites used (so students do not need to type out the address, instead direct them to the website and click the links).  Over time I now have  extra credit, supplemental materials, google forms, science news and articles, online quizzes, and much more.
