Teacher Web Reflections

I see myself using a teacher web for many different reasons. One reason would be to keep kids up to date with what is going on in the classroom, especially if they have been absent due to an illness or if they have just forgotten what the details were to an assignment. I feel that it is also important to let the students know a little bit about myself outside of the classroom. This way they do not feel so intimidated by me at times. I feel that a class web site can also be a very informative tool by providing links for students to websites related to my subject. This allows the students to easily get ahold of valuable resources that they can use to further their knowledge in the subject or special topic.


One of the top ways that a class website can enhance student learning is by providing links to Web 2.0 sites. This provides the students with an interesting and interactive opportunity to work with the subject matter. The other top way in which I feel that a class website can be used to enhance student learning is by having links to other important websites related to your topic. This is important in allowing students the opportunity to explore other website related to the topic at hand.

I felt that the white board was a very cool feature within the teacher web system, as it allows students to write back ad forth to each other. This could be a very useful tool in letting students discuss topics from class or certain assignments that they may be confused on. Although it must be monitored very closely to ensure that all conversations are about subject related topics. Another great feature was the review quiz page, as it gives the students an opportunity to look at questions that may be on the test. It gives them a great opportunity to practice and hopefully learn the material a little better.
