Keep 'Em Coming Back to Your Website

Teacher created websites have become a way to keep students and parents aware of what's happening in the classroom.

But...

Do students and parents actually have a reason to visit your website???

Making your website dynamic and engaging is an easy fix and will keep students and parents coming back to your website!

Using a little piece of HTML code (no, you don't have to know how to write code) called an EMBED CODE allows you to place content right into your website.

Sites many teachers already use that give access to an embed code:
  • YouTube - embed educational videos right into your website
  • Authorstream.com - embed PowerPoint presentations complete with animations and narration
  • Animoto.com - showcase student presentations
  • Google Forms - collect information without all the paperwork
  • Photobucket.com - showcase student work and pictures through slideshows
Learn more about Embed Codes, where to find them and how to paste them into your website by watching the PowerPoint (embeded from AuthorStream) below.
