Why your school needs to launch a website in this lockdown period

COVID 19 has taught us that time and space can be greatly limited.
Physical movements have been hindered by curfews and lockdown. This has grossly affected many businesses and now the future of the younger generation- schools.

Here are 5 main reasons why your school needs a website urgently.

1. EMBRACE E- LEARNING
With the future of school reopening in jeopardy all across the world, many learners are at home and many teachers are jobless and stranded. With a school website, teachers can digitize their content and upload to their school website where learners and parents can download.

2. COMMUNICATION, ASSESSMENT AND COLLABORATION TOOLS
Through Existing google classroom tools, teachers can collaborate together from different locations and communicate effectively on how to support their learners, School administration can communicate with parents by posting news/updates on the blog page of the school website.

3.BE VISIBLE ONLINE
A School website has the contact page which displays the location of the school on google maps, phone numbers and email address which parents and other stake holders can use to reach the school. Also the about page displays the vision, mission and background of the school.

4. ONLINE ADMISSIONS
Gone are the days of roaming from school to school looking for a place for your child. This has been greatly hampered by the closure of schools. Students can now apply for places in a school through online admissions using a school website thus the need for a school website
