Being our students digital natives, we should use ICT's in order to connect our teaching with our students life. In this post we are going to explain some webpages to create a classroom community online. You may wonder, why do I need to create such a webpage? The reason is that creating an online classroom will help you build a sense of community and belonging with your students, since they would be able to share experience and ideas. Moreover, some of these resources have the possibility to let parents create their own account. Therefore, not only the communication between student-teacher would improve, but also communication between teachers-parents. When it comes to Art Immersion teaching, it is important to have a place in which the students can upload and share their creations.
