Before implementing a class Web page, which question is most important for the teacher to address?

• A. How will the information on the class Web page be provided to parents/guardians who do not use the Internet on a regular basis?
• B. What criteria should be used to select students' artwork and writing samples to post on the class Web page?
• C. How frequently will the information on the class Web page need to be updated?
• D. What would be the best method of letting parents/guardians know that the class Web page is available on

Answer: (A)

Ensuring that all families can access information is the key idea here. Before launching a class web page, the teacher needs a plan for how information will reach parents or guardians who don’t use the Internet regularly. If some families can’t access the site, they miss important updates about assignments, events, and other news, which can widen gaps in communication and involvement.

So, think about providing non-digital options as well—printed newsletters, phone updates, or text summaries—and consider language needs or literacy levels. This ensures every family can stay informed and participate in their child’s education from the start.

Once you’ve established accessible communication, other choices matter too but aren’t as foundational. For example, deciding which artwork to post relates to representation and student motivation; determining update frequency affects how current the page is; and informing families where to find the page is important, but it only works if they can actually access it. The priority is making sure information reaches all families.
