Consider some of the following: 
  • Who is your audience?
    • How will you organize your site to coincide with the chronological order of your lesson unit?
  • Who will you grant collaboration privileges to?  
    • Is this a Grade level team unit?
  • Will it be an informational page(static) or a working page (dynamic)?
Create a Site 
  • Collaborate on a test site or create one for use in your role as an educator.
  • It should be a quick mock-up as a proof-of-concept that you can use when you return to work.
