The way Jana explains her class website to parents and students at the beginning of the year:

"Students (and parents/guardians) can visit our class website to see everything we cover in the classroom in one place. The class website is where all the instruction occurs, and Google Classroom is where students can digitally submit assignments. Because Google Classroom can quickly become just a “filing cabinet” of assignments listed, it can be difficult to navigate through or to connect resources together. The class website allows teachers to keep the classroom organized with a more visual and interactive layout."
