The district is now providing an alternative web space for teachers

INTRODUCING WEB1

This space can be utilized in one of two ways.
It can be used as a stand-alone web page/site or in conjunction with TeacherWeb.

1 - Create your own web site from scratch -

HOW?

EXAMPLE 1 – These web pages are written in HTML using website creation software. index.html is the main page.
http://web1.ww-p.org/CMS/Teachers/lmcnamara/

2 - FILE STORAGE/ACCESS
Store files and handouts for your students to access on the web.
NOTE: A link to this location can be provided and utilized in conjunction with a TeacherWeb site.

EXAMPLE 2 – This site consists of directories (FOLDERS) containing documents that the students may download.
http://web1.ww-p.org/CMS/Teachers/devitt/

If you expect your students to access documents from home, make sure they have a compatible program. Word and Excel are needed to open the documents below.

CREATING YOUR OWN WEB SITE

To access your web space, you must do the following:

1. Download, read, and agree to follow the specifications outlined below and on the Web Space Request form provided (LAST PAGE).

2. Agree to attend (at your convenience) a short training session (30 minutes).

Once activated, your site will be as easily accessible as your H (Hamilton) Drive. When you double-click on “My Computer,” it will appear as follows with your name.” Keep in mind that unlike your Hamilton Drive, whatever you put on this new W: drive is LIVE on the web. This means that anyone with the address has access! BE CAREFUL.

CONTENT

All subject matter on web pages should relate only to curriculum, instruction, and school-authorized activities. Publishing personal pages for other individuals or organizations not directly affiliated with the District and/or pages to promote and outside business is prohibited

No personal student information can be posted with the exception of student work in which case the student’s first name may be used for project identification purposes - ONLY when written permission has been obtained by the parent/guardian. (forms are available though my office).

Pages should be checked monthly for dead links, appropriateness, up-to-date content and relevancy. Web pages may not contain objectionable material or point directly to objectionable material.

SITES WITH DEAD LINKS & OBVIOUSLY OUTDATED (more then 30 days) MATERIAL MAY BE REMOVED.

External links should be district, school or curriculum related.
