Using Blue Wrench to create instant web pages |
| Any teacher or staff in SAU 16 can get a basic website that they can easily maintain on any browser. The pages are designed to have the look and feel of your school's website so it looks like your pages are integrated into the website. Within a half an hour you can be up and running putting news, assignments, links, projects and anything you'd like on your own web pages. Newfields' teachers have started to use this simple system - see an example: Mr. Bennett's and Ms. Halpern's Third Grade Class | |
