A classroom website is an excellent way for parents and students to be informed about what is going on in class on a daily basis. The website can be use to post assignment calendars, supply lists, classroom rules and so much more. It is also a good place to have contact information in case a parent or guardian needs to get in touch with the teacher.
I really enjoyed this assignment and feel like it is something that I will definitely use in my classroom. This will be beneficial to everyone including the teacher, parents, and even the students.
This relates to the NETS-T standard #3 which says
"Modeling digital age work and learning. Teachers exhibit knowledge, skills, and work processes representative of an innovative professional in a global and digital society. Teachers collaborate with students, peers, parents, and community members using digital tools and resources to support student success and innovation."
By having a website available for parents as well as other students, teachers display that they know about technology. Technology is something that is becoming very widely used these days because it is very convenient. Teachers do not always get very good responses when they stick to the "notes being sent home" or progress reports that no one knows about. Having something posted on the internet, however, is a permanent record and something that everyone could have access to and be able to view at the same time.
Here is an example of a classroom website that I made.
