Week 7

As a teacher I would definitely maintain a course website. I think they are completely worth the trouble/effort. They are a great way to keep students connected. Websites can also be a catch all for resources you would like to share with students. Websites can allow teachers to also go nearly paperless in their classroom's. I remember constantly being handed huge packets in class to read and discuss and I think it'd be great to be able to upload those to a class website instead and save a lot of paper.

I will use technology is various ways to accomplish my professional responsibilities more efficiently and effectively. I would use technology to help with my teacher professional development with blogs, webinars, and twitter. Similarly to how we use technology in class. It would be really useful to be able to share and learn tips and practices that other teachers use. Especially early into my profession it would be very beneficial to be able to be able to gauge where I'm at with other teachers.

Through the web evaluation assignment I learned some skills about how to create blank forms for students to fill out. I also learned about some important website qualities that I didn't think much of before. Overall I pretty much liked everything about the assignment. I liked how simple it was once you made your blank sheet. I could use this in my future career to help students recognize what good sources look like.
