On page 90 of "Teaching Students Who Are Exceptional, Diverse, & At Risk" by Sharon Vaughn, there is a list of "purposes of teacher web pages.
1. General class descriptions. Teacher contact info, class rules, school calendar, supply list, class news, class email list.
2. Unit outlines & timetables. Projected beginning & ending of units, unit goals.
3. Information about specific units & projects. Major activities, homework assignments & due dates, vocab words, spelling lists, online practice tests, links to online resources.
4. Student progress reporting. Grades, GPA, class ranking, standardized test results, attendance records.
It goes without saying that examples of #4 above, must be for individual student & parent consumptions and not for all visitors to the website.
Numbers 1-3 are the sort of things I plan on incorporating on my blog site. Blogs, web pages have a lot of benefits in the classrooms.
