Every teacher in our district has the ability to create a teacher website. Teacher websites can be use to communicate information to parents and students, provide information and resources as documents or links and to create discussion through a discussion board. Photos and videos of students can be added for families to view. Events can be added to the calendar, practice quizes can be created and grades can be shared.
Did you know that you can lock a document? Any file that is uploaded to the documents section can be locked by clicking on the padlock to the right. You will be prompted to create a password. This password can be shared with individual parents so only they can access the file (audio, video, word document). When someone clicks on the file, they must enter the password in order for the file to open.
Here are a few SWIFT sites you may want to visit to see a variety of uses:
Brandon Betlach
Christine Thurston

For this weeks post: Look at how other teachers in the district are using their SWIFT site. Look at other teachers in your grade level/specialty. Report back how you currently use your site and what you would like to add to enhance your site.
