School Jotter - a quick way to create a school website

I recently came across School Jotter. It's an easy way to create an online presence for a school, class or group. Combined with a page or two on Kids on the Net you don't have to be an expert to have the school online. Using it is easy - it's like using Facebook, Twitter and other great web 2.0 websites.

Of course a lot of teachers nowadays can create their own websites, but do you really need to spend the time if there's a good tool out there to help?

1. School Jotter can be edited from any computer that has an internet connection - all you need is your username and password to log on.

2. School Jotter lets you create password protected pages. This means you can set up areas for teachers, governors etc. that only they can access.

3. School Jotter allows you to save your page as a draft to work on later.

4. There is no limit to the number of pages you can create. Your school Jotter website can have as many or as few pages as you require.

5. School Jotter allows you to redesign your site for free by browsing our gallery of new and exciting designs.

6. School Jotter allows you to insert e-learning modules such as weekly spellings & maths practice, phonics exercises and links to the BBC 'Bitesize' web pages.

7. Web stats allows you to see which pages of your website have been viewed and how many times. These can be viewed by day, week or month.

8. You can use keywords and descriptions on your webpages to make it easier for them to appear in all the popular search engines.

9. Online forms allow you to gather details from your visitors and communicate with them via a single click 'bulk email' option.

10. School Jotter's online vacancy option allows you to post job vacancies and then easily manage the details of multiple applicants.
