Students can interview, photograph, research, and write about their school. With the cost of memory decreasing daily, there is virtually no limit to what can be stored on the Web site. New staff and students can now quickly learn about the school and become a part of its community. Let others find and connect with you. Other educators read your request for electronic pen pals and offer to match up their students with yours.
Students begin to write to other students in places they never knew existed.
The unknown world becomes more personalized and students find that this world community is a small, fragile, and precious one. Links to sites that are appropriate for staff and students can be added to your Web pages. This provides a focus for students when they are online. Subject based curriculum pages with helpful links are ideal for homework and independent study. This saves staff and students time from searching for sites.
