Talk about planning the future of the web site.
This allows your successor to take over smoothly Look at the structure of the address.
Of course you can think of a million ways to link your students to library resources & activities…
Create a conference notes page. Upload “works in progress” that you want to work on at school AND at home. Create a passworded video & files page for videos, pictures, files etc. for easy access and personal use. Create a Committees section on your page to keep notes and resources. ( Example )
Put your lessons (including PowerPoint presentations) online so that you can open them from any computer. Also, students who were absent can view them later. Create a blog. Right now the blog feature is not very good. It might improve in the future. Post Forms (For example ) Post slide shows
