How can an online presence contribute to your classroom? Parents can get to know the person teaching their child. Students can see a hint of the actual human at the front of class. Extra credit can be put in there to encourage going the extra mile (a bit like 23 Things). More information can be posted that wasn't covered in class or for further reading to encourage those students whose interest was sparked.
What can be found online? There's a whole host of information out there that's yours for the finding. If you are need class room organization or décor ideas or lesson plans or curriculum guides or worksheets or games or idea or whatever else you need.
I waste an amazing amount of time on Pinterest. There's so many good ideas with photos to follow to bring a classroom to life. Here are some pictures I found just looking up "high school classroom décor"
Prep School
Cozy Classroom
I can say if I walked into a high school class room that looked like that, I probably would never have wanted to graduate! They are great examples of how cozy or preppy a classroom can be. Thank you for sharing those.
