Educational Websites

Include links to the websites that your students use at school and home.

Here are a few different examples of how schools accomplish this:

Some schools have a link to a separate Google Site that is maintained by the Computer Lab aide:

If you like a page on another school's site, use it as a template, but don't try to copy it straight from their site. That will link all of your images to their media library and if they delete it, you will lose it too. Instead, save the images and add them to your page, through your media library, you can then copy the links to the websites and add them to your page.

Avoid using tables if possible. Tables generally do not translate well when viewed on mobile devices. Instead, use a multi-column layout. If you make sure your images are all the same size, or at least very close, lining things up will be much easier and it will look better. Opening links in a new tab is usually preferable in cases like these; however, if you are using a lot of images the "open in a new tab" icon can really mess up the look.

Important: DO NOT POST usernames and passwords to Utah's Online Library or any of the other sites that your school has a paid subscription for. Your site is accessible to anyone on the internet, they should not be given access to those sites. You will need to distribute that information directly to parents and students through an email, or flyer, etc. Posting that information in Google Classroom or Canvas would be okay since those require a password to access.
