Technology That Supports 21st Century Skills

** Class Jump- ** Free web sites for teachers ClassJump.com provides teachers web sites free of charge, where multiple classes can be managed and updated using an easy to understand interface. No knowledge of web site programming is needed to get your class or classes set up and quickly providing up-to-date information for your students and parents.

In order to begin the teacher or student must sign up and register, the teacher must register each of their students.

Add Homework Homework and events are added to each class calendar. Each homework assignment can have multiple downloadable documents associated to it.

Homework, or events that have passed are archived for you and can be re-assigned to future dates.

Calendar items can be on-going and not necessarily specific to a date.

Upload documents to share with the class Organize your class documents through your website. Create unique categories for them so that they can be found easily.

Any type of document, no matter how large, can be stored here and related to any or all of your classes with ease.

There are no limits to file size, or storage here. Upload as many as and often as you like.

Post upcoming events to your calendar Events can be added to your calendar in the same way as homework. These can be on-going, or just set for one day.

If you have documents that need to be downloaded for certain events, you can add these to any calendar event.

Post articles of interest and links to resources Each teacher site comes with unlimited news articles that you can add at any time. Your news can have multiple photographs and can contain links to outside reference materials.

You can also add links to your site, which can be organized into categories of interest.

Receive documents uploaded by students Once a student has an online account, they can log in and upload documents for you. Once you have received a student document, you can turn around and send that document back to the student with your comments.

Students can also leave you messages that you can pick up at any time. You can also send a private message to a student that they will see when they log in.

Start a class message board for, just for you and your students Class message boards are great! You can make them public (anyone can participate) or private (only you and your students can participate).

Add as many topic threads as you like and then read the replies as they are posted in real-time.

The message board contains a "quote" option, where you can comment on a particular post within the topic.

Create unlimited photo albums Photo albums are a great way to share pictures with the class. There are no limits here. Add as many different albums as you like and as many images to those albums as you feel like.

Photo albums can be password protected, so that only the people you want to see them, can see them.
