Students Created Their Own Weebly Web Pages!
Why Create a Web Personal Web Page?
This year, students spent time learning how to create their own personal educational web pages. The creation of each student's web page provided opportunities to be creative, work collaboratively - as they gave each other feedback on how to improve their web pages. Along with using critical thinking skills as they learned how to manage their own information and determine how best to present it to their audience.

What's Included on Their Websites?
Students created tabs for each subject that they have in school. Then, students could load pictures of projects, iMovies, Educreation videos, or any other type of digital documentation of all of the work that they did in fifth grade.
John's Page
John's webpage is filled with fifth grade memories. His favorite page is the "Other Interesting Facts" page for fifth grade. He included music, television shows, and close friends in 2015.
Hailey's Page
Hailey is super excited about her Language Arts page where students shared thoughts and ideas regarding their book club. Her favorite book is "The Giver" by Lois Lowry.
Kaylie's Page
One of Kaylie's favorite pages includes holiday activities that we completed in class. She enjoyed the monster Kleenex Valentine boxes that we made for their Valentine Party.
A Digital Time Capsule
These websites will provide students with a digital time capsule of what they accomplished in fifth grade. This is something they can save to share with their children some day. As time passes, it is so easy to forget all of the wonderful and amazing creations they made in school. This website will showcase their learning and bring them back to the school year of 2014-2015.
Jolee's Page
Jolee is very proud of her creativity that she put into the website. Students were given general guidelines as to what needed to be completed. Jolee loved the freedom to design her fifth grade memories website.
Evan's Page
Evan likes his pointilism project page. Students created pointilisms to demonstrate how pictures are made of tiny dots and how microscopes can help us see those small images.
Kellan
Kellan's favorite page is the "Other Interesting Facts" page. Kellan shares pictures of his soccer team and team logo.
Kurosh's Page
Kurosh's favorite page is his math page. Math is his favorite subject and he saved memories of the National Pi day where students brought in real pies and we worked on area and circumference of circles.
Victoria's Page
Victoria's favorite part of creating her website was searching for pictures to enhance all of the information that she included on her site.
Encouraging 21st Century Learning
Website creation and design provided our students an authentic project filled with fun, creativity, planning and memories.
A Great Way To Connect Parents With School
How many parents have asked their child what they have been doing at school and received the reply, "Oh, nothing!" This digital website is such a great way for parents to pop out and view their child's accomplishments and feel really connected to the daily activities at school. This digital website is also an incredible way for students to share with their parents at parent teacher conferences what they have been working on.
