In this lesson, designed for a heterogeneous group of students that includes English-language learners, students work together to plan a website based on their home knowledge. An introductory lesson outlines the structure and components of simple websites (home page, titles, headings, links). Students take home and complete a bilingual student and family interest survey, then work in groups of four or five to identify common themes among the responses. Each group makes a flow chart to think graphically about the contents of their planned website. Each student keeps a project notebook to record new ideas, summarize group work, and share the project with family members. The teacher can make the planned websites a reality using one of the online website-building platforms in the Resources list.

This course is designed to provide participants with a wide variety of online tools, pedagogical strategies, and digital resources to help educators enter the world of online and digital learning. The impetus of the creation of this course was the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus in early 2020, causing an unprecedented national emergency. It was at this time that, among other things, the lack of professional development and need for teacher training in the area of online and digital learning became evident. We created this class with the intent to provide educators with a free resource to assist them in acquiring the skills and knowledge necessary to better navigate the waters of online learning in a digital world.
