FirstClass provides an easy web publishing tool for teachers to communicate with students and their parents.

Through the web publishing tool, teachers can:

• provide course information (course outlines, assessment, etc.)

• create homework pages to keep parents up-to-date and informed

• generate calendars of upcoming events

• display student work

• use the site to podcast

The FirstClass web publishing Getting Started Guide is available to teachers to guide you through some of the basics.

Workshops for teachers to learn the basics of FirstClass Web Publishing are available. Check the Professional Development conference on FirstClass for upcoming workshops.
