=There are 2 parts to this online session (#2 is optional):=

**__ How can you use online tools to enhance the learning experience for your students? __**

 * View online presentation entitled: "Options for Building Your Teacher Website and Why YOU Should". It's also in our Diigo group and also in ANGEL in the "Readings" Folder. This is a basic presentation that may give you more ideas for your web presence or a web page if you are interested in creating one.
 * View the presentation below which discusses design details.
 * **Your web presence:**
 * Choose a tool to "host" your web presence (if you haven't done so already)
 * Begin to create your web presence
 * **Put a summary of your draft idea (just a couple of sentences - goals, subject, grade, assessment, tool(s) you're using, etc.) and a link to your draft web presence in a new blog post (on your blog) by 6/11 (The sooner you post the link/your thoughts/background, the sooner I can give you feedback and answer questions you may have. **
 * *This is just a draft.....get started, let us give you feedback and then continue to work on it. It's a work in progress!!! Do you have something that you're trying to figure out and you're having difficulty with it? Post your questions, etc. as part of your blog post.
 * If you are really stuck with an idea or don't know how to effectively execute a strategy, email me your ideas and we can discuss over the phone or I can email you back a few ideas.
 * Visit your peers' blogs throughout the week, look at their work, provide feedback in the comments - constructive criticism helps!!!
 * *This is your graded blog entry for week 6. It's a way for you to critique the beginning stages of your classmates' projects, get ideas, provide constructive criticism, etc.
