Educators have unique needs when it comes to what they hope to create with the Build Your Own Website service! Some wish to update the site daily or weekly for homework assignments, school events, and contact with parents and students. Others look at the service as a tool for research and reference materials relevant to what they teach, coach or the student population that they serve. Here are a few great samples of current educator's uses of the BYOW service
