Teacher Spotlight – Ryan Stein
Many teachers are creating websites this year with iWeb, and that is great! One thing you can do to simplify the process of publishing your site is to use the power of embed codes. Ryan Stein is a 4th grade teacher at Pinchbeck, and his website is a great example of this. He has embedded his Google Calendar and Google Docs for homework. That way, whenever he makes a change in Google, it automatically updates on his website without having to open iWeb and republish the site. He has also embedded videos which significantly reduces the size of his site and the upload times. Be sure to check out his Maps link where he has posted his interactive Virginia map project that I described on this post. If you’d like to get more ideas, I’ve created a website that just focuses on cool things you can embed on your own homepage. There are videos, photo slideshows, polls, forms, and even an online puzzle. Please let me know if you need any help creating your website!
