I am trying to create one space and subsequently a "shortcut" on the students' computers. Where they click on the shortcut and are taken to a site that has links to various…"

Kristin Cook replied to Kristin Cook's discussion Grouping Sites for Student Use in the group Classroom 2.0 Beginner Group!"Thanks Louise! So far Wikispaces has gotten a lot of votes! I like the "educators" option. . . I just wasn't sure if it would be too hard to navigate for first graders. I think that your idea to personalize each learning space is very…"

Bob Zenhausern replied to Kristin Cook's discussion Grouping Sites for Student Use in the group Classroom 2.0 Beginner Group!"Let me understand what you want to do. You want to create websites for different subject areas. What will the students do with the material they find?
Perhaps I do not understand your request, but a visit to www.educationalsynthesis.org will show…"
"Kristin,
I agree that creating a classroom website using either wikispaces or googlespaces is an easy and free way to accomplish your goal. I like google a little bit better myself, but either is easy to use.You can "spice" things up using…"
Louise replied to Kristin Cook's discussion Grouping Sites for Student Use in the group Classroom 2.0 Beginner Group!"I teach Kindergarten and have set up a wikispaces wiki (add free for educators) for just that purpose. I use screenshots from the sites I want them to use and add the links so it's just click and use, no reading required.
I'm teaching them…"

I also teach first grade. I am new to using the web 2.0 resources and feel like I am behind, but I want to learn as much as I can. How comfortable are your students with technology? I find it to be quite a challenge for some of my…"
Kristin Cook replied to Kristin Cook's discussion Grouping Sites for Student Use in the group Classroom 2.0 Beginner Group!"ooh great! thanks for responding! the web 2.0 resources out there can be VERY overwhelming! i just want to start small since the first graders will already have a challenging task of navigating around the sites. . . thanks again!"
"Good question Kristin. I think a wiki would work great for this kind of use as you it can be easily updated and modified. But I am coming from a teenager to adult ed context. With first graders you might want to take delete control away? Too many…"

Grouping Sites for Student Use
Hi!I'm looking for someplace on the web where I can put websites for students to use in groups (e.g. reading, writing, phonics, etc). I want the students to be able to click anywhere on the site and be able to access different links for individual subject areas. I just don't know what type of "host" or "site" would be best!
