Getting Started:
Web Publishing Guide for Faculty
- Please read the “web publishing policy” before creating a teacher web page. The policy document can be found in the common (U:) drive > Information for Teachers and Staff > Policies and Guidelines > Internet > Web Publishing Policy
- Most important issues to remember: get permission from parents to post pictures of student work and/or students. Never post a student’s full name or post a picture with less than 3 students in the photo. Also, please read the pupil photo policy.
- Figure out what the structure of your website will be. Your site should have a homepage that welcomes visitors and briefly describes the different components of your website. The site should be organized by major categories such as “newsletters”, “recent news”, “photo galleries”, etc. You should then decide how those major content categories will be divided into subcategories. In other words, do you want viewers to browse by grade level, by date, by trimester, by resource links, etc.? These sub-links will represent your table of contents that will help viewers navigate your site.
- Once you have a website plan, you will need to register and create a user account before you can post web pages. Register by going to the www.bfafairfax.com homepage and clicking on the login tab, then go to site registration. Enter your email and a temporary password will be emailed to that address. Return to bfafairfax.com, go to login, and you can then change your password to match the password you use for the school network login.
- Once you have registered and decided that you want to publish a website, notify Mr. Davis or Mr. Reaves that you want staff publishing rights and wish to have specific sections (content categories) created.
- Once those categories have been created, you can begin to edit and/or add pages to those sections. When you have received publishing rights, you should see small editing buttons (page and pencil icons) in the upper right hand corner of your web pages.
- Be aware that you can accidentally edit and delete other teacher’s websites. Please make sure you have browsed to your website and are on the page you want to edit before you click on the edit icon.
- If you are planning to post photos on your website, please read the “Adding Images” segment posted in the Teacher’s resources/Help section of the B.F.A. website.
