Teacher Website Assignment

3850, Fall, 2004

 

There are two alternative approaches to this assignment. You may want to construct a website for your own class. Or, you could develop a project based website on a specific topic. A good way to start is to review what is already out there on the internet. Two good resources are:

 

The Miss Rumphius Award Site

 

Reading Online

 

Especially the Electronic Classroom Archive

 

Creativity is an important part of this assignment. Think “outside the box.” Feel free to consult the professors to discuss ideas and resources.
