What? - This week we learned about how to make our google site for our classroom. We were taught how to make a calender, homework page, resource page, about us page, announcements page, and a filing cabinet.
So What? - This today helped me to better understand how other websites work in general. By figuring out how to make my own, now I understand better how to navigate Doc Waters website, and my Ed Psych website. I can help my peers who don't understand how to get links off of websites or sync calenders with other teachers. I am all around more comfortable with web pages because now I know how to make one.
This also helps me to know how to make websites for myself and my family. My uncle has been wanting to make a website for a long time now, and now I know how. I can easily produce websites for other individuals and possibly even make money off of it.
Now What? - This helps my future students because it provides them with the ability to keep track of what is going on in our classroom. If I need to update the kids on something important quickly, I can post an announcement on the website and encourage the students to check it on a regular basis. I also don't need to remind the students about assignments that are due because they can be held accountable for it by checking the calender periodically.
This will help my students and myself to have communication easier outside of the classroom as well. The students will feel like they have access to the class information at any point because it will all be located online. They students can feel more technologically savy as well because they will be comfortable with our class website. It's great stuff!!
