Google Sites
In addition to Blogger YouTube and Google+ you can also increase your digital presence using Google Sites. Google Sites is a great platform to build your own classroom website as a way to communicate with parents, students or even fellow teachers. Also if you teach a High School Portfolio Class this is wonderful free way for students create their digital portfolio.Using Google sites is a little more advance than but there are lots of tutorials to help you along the way. The trade off is the flexibility and vast amount of content you can add to the site. Basically if you can make it using a Google tool your can add it to your Google Site. To help get you started there are lots of templets that you can use, rather than starting from scratch. I recommend that you use the "art room" templet, which can be found under browse more templets and then under the subcategory of school & education. Although I have not explored all the templets, I found this one to be a good one for art teachers.
