February 1- Google Part 2

What? We learned about google sites and creating them. I wasn't able to make it to class last week so I was trying to figure out everything by myself. I'm sure it took me way longer because I missed the instruction on it, but I feel like I figured most of it out pretty well and that I really know it now. There was a lot of different options that we used in order to make the class website.

So what? I think this is a great tool for us to become familiar with as teachers. Having our own classroom website for students and parents of our students is a great way to create a safe environment where everyone feels comfortable. This keeps parents involved in what is going on in our classroom and a gives them a little hole into the type of teacher we are and what types of activities their children are involved in on a daily basis.

Now what? This is something I definitely would like to become more comfortable with and so that I can create a great website that is something the kids and parents want to and feel like they need to stay updated with. This is great for us to be able to use in our future teaching careers and I plan to keep mine updated so that my students can have a bunch of great resources and so that I can get to know them better as well as then getting to know me on some level as well. I think that all the different pages that you asked us to create are great and make for a very full and helpful website for students. It is important to keep everything clear so that it is easily accessed by all of our students.
