Get a free WEBSITE TEMPLATE: XYD Foundation (Hollywood, Florida) has funded the creation of a Google Sites website Template for teachers to use with students


This is what the WEBSITE Template looks like:   go to www.TinyURL.com/xydfreesite to see the Google Sites free website template.  


Websites for students were pioneered at schools in California, such as High Tech High in San Diego.  College admission officers get a wider look at the student's background and skills.   The DP can showcase talents and interests.

The structure of the template helps students organize their materials and show more than their academic achievements.  Typical headers include "resume", "I recommend these songs," "Essay about my future," "inspiring quotes," "my digital library," "social media," "personal history workbook," and the contact me page.

A sample Digital Portfolio can be found at www.TinyURL.com/exampleDP, showing a website designed and maintained by High Tech High student Ben Staley.

Teachers who are interested in learning how to use this free procedure can contact Steve McCrea at (954) 646 8246 to arrange a one-on-one training session or to join one of several trainings that will take place around Broward and Miami-Dade Counties in July and August 2016.
