Use this web site to
link to my teacher web page. They

GUIDED PRACTICE:
-
Guide the children
to the Website’s home page.

Have them locate
the Teacher Website drop down menu and select a teacher on the
school's website. Have
them scroll down until they find “Barnes”. Then instruct them to click on “GO.”
-
When they have my
home page on their screen, I will show them how to add this
website to the favorites menu in the tool bar.
This way the website will be readily available for them
on their computer in the computer lab. This activity will also
demonstrate how they can add my web site to their favorites menu
on their home computer.

my icons (Announcements, Homework, Links, FAQ, and Calendar).

web site, show students where they can click on E-Mail to send
me a message. Handout the email worksheet and discuss the parts
of the email and how to use it (how email addresses are setup (username@domainname),
from, to, subject, message, and how to send) (Students will have
to do this from their Internet computer at home, county library,
friend or family member's computer). .

links icon and then click on the teacher's website. They may browse
the school’s website.
CLOSURE:
Explain to students that they are able to access this website
at home as well as at school. It
is a valuable tool in assisting communication between teachers,
