Advantages of a Website Digital Textbook
Websites are not going away anytime soon. Teachers have been using their own sites to effectively deliver content for a long time, and current technologies make these tools even more powerful. We'll discuss some of the advantages of using your own website as a digital textbook and central hub.
- Let's get the negative out of the way ... This will take more of a time commitment in the beginning.
+ Once your digital curriculum is set up, prep time decreases dramatically. My experience year two.
+ Your web page becomes your presentation.
+ You create your own custom and engaging content, tailored to your curriculum.
+ Students can access content anytime, anywhere, and from any internet connected device (not locked into one device/platform).+ Materials can be downloaded offline using Google Drive
+ Use Google Drive to collaborate (world wide) in writing curriculum and insert it into your site.+ Link or embed other ED tech tools. How I use Schoology and Google Drive.
+ Johnny was gone two days last week, and Sam will miss all of next week. I respond, "All the information you need is on my site."+ Take this a step further and differentiate by letting students complete the course at their own pace.
+ It's a shared resource that other teachers can steal from (and for global learners).
