The following are must-haves for a good teacher/class web page:

• your name, school, and position
• information about current assignments, units, activities, and so on for each class or content area you teach. (Hint: Include digital photographs of projects and/or students working on them.) 
• links to Web pages containing class-related resources. You might also want to include online encyclopedias, dictionaries, learning games and drills, and so on. 
• a schedule, list of class rules and procedures, and so on
• general news or notes to parents, including reminders about upcoming school events and important dates or deadlines
• contact information, including your e-mail address

Keep in mind, if you include the optional items you will need to update your page(s) more regularly. 

Another tip to remember is if your page becomes too long, you might consider breaking it into smaller web pages.

And always, always, find out what your school or district's policy is regarding publishing students' and staff members' names, pictures, email addresses, work, etc.

Before you begin to actually create your page, sit down and sketch it out on paper. Have it all planned, including what kind of graphics you might want to include, before you ever turn on the computer.

That's it!

Now get busy planning that page!
