When decided on a focus for this school year, one of the things that Heflin decided to focus on was teacher webpages. Under the direction of Crystal Marek, campus technology specialist, teachers were guided through the process of creating engaging and resourceful class webpages during their back-to-school technology professional development session in August. Throughout the semester, Crystal has supported her teachers in their endeavors to make their webpages engaging and keep their information current. While there are many to choose from, I wanted to take time to highlight a few.
Mrs. Haller's page is an excellent example of how you can create a digital learning environment using only the options that are available in eChalk. I would like to highlight the current resources that she includes. For each unit of study, Mrs. Haller creates a folder with resources that are specific to what the students are learning. That resource link opens a subfolder filled with links that will help the students master the concept(s). Awesome work Mrs. Haller! For more details, please click on one of the pictures to visit Mrs. Haller's page.

Mrs. Donaldson has embraced Twitter in her classroom, and her parents and students love it! This page is an excellent example of how to use Twitter in a primary classroom to create a digital learning environment. Mrs. D. tweets almost everyday, keeping parents updated on what is being learned in class and what is coming up. Her Twitter feed is also embedded on her class webpage so that parents who may not being using Twitter are still kept up to date. Great job Mrs. Donaldson!

Also, be sure to follow her class on Twitter:
