| Teacher Websites |

Teachers are encouraged to maintain a class/course website to provide additional means for communication for students and parents. Secondary level teachers may choose to create a Blackboard course website, a Moodle course website, or a WordPress website. Elementary teachers may choose to create a Moodle course website or a WordPress website. WordPress allows you to edit and post information both at work and from home. The WordPress websites use a web-based editor, thus anywhere you have an Internet connection, you can edit your course website. WordPress websites are viewable by students AND parents. Blackboard and Moodle course websites are viewable by students only. See links above for specific materials and tutorials on each type of site. Additionally, talk with your IRT for suggestions before beginning a class/course website. Note: Teachers who have prior websites created in Dreamweaver will be allowed to keep them at present.

How much website space am I provided?
Teachers are provided with 25 megabytes of server space for Dreamweaver class/course websites. Podcasting files do not count against this space. There is currently no space restriction on Blackboard, WordPress or Moodle course websites. However, there is a limit on the size of file a student may upload to one of these types of sites.
