The workshop will also show you how to add the created websites to your WiKi and School Fusion Pages. Student examples will be provided and shared with the participants as well as additional take-home resources to get you started

Wix is a user-friendly flash website builder that can be used for business, academics, personal, or pleasure. We at the Northfield Community School use Wix for culminating, and independent projects in content area subjects. When surveying students in our Middles School 9 out of 10 students would rather create a Wix website than a PowerPoint.

The objective for this presentation is that you will be able to create your own website for students to access, as well as integrating website design into your curriculum.
