//**Creating an online presence **// This "Face of Your Classroom" thing looks at a variety of resources which teachers can use to create a web presence for students and parents to access information about their classroom online. Blogging, wikis, classroom management systems, and web authoring systems all are wonderful ways to create an online presence.

I use RCHS School Center teacher web page to post my classroom information and upload documents/handouts posted in document manger page for students to access from home. I also post my class Netvibes Start Pages which host daily posts about what we have done in class each day. There are PowerPoints, Quizlets and helpful links posted in the Start pages for student to access if they are absent or want to study at home.

My first blog was created when I participated in RESA's 23 Things using Blogger. I have continued to create blogs to use with my students. I have tried Edublogs but didn't care for it as much as Blogger. I found it more difficult to use than Blogger.

My first Wikispacewas not that great either. I created one for my RESA 23 things and then deleted it content. I re used it for my Basic Govt. Class. I didn't like it at first and found it hard to use but now that I have created several Wikis I really like them. One word of caution ~ you have to invite students to join your Wikispace if you are going to assign them a page. They need an email account and if you use their Windows Live @students.riverviewschools.com you will need to request that the email from the Wiki account be allowed into the students email accounts. If students are creating their own Wikispace you will still need to have domain name approved in order for them to activate their accounts.
