Web Blog 3 web page I talked to two teachers and they both gave me some great insight on what they would like their classroom websites to look like. One teacher was an educational teacher and the other was an social/emotional curriculum teacher. So in taking consideration what they both said I have come up with how I would want my website to look. I would definatley have a section that gave some background information about me as a teacher. It would tell my college and high school history and any special achievements. It would include a section that discuses my hobbies and beliefs. It would also have my HQT and talk about me as a highly qualified teacher. It would defianatley include the core/state standards for the subject given. It would list the standards being worked on by weekly breakdowns. The calendar would be a great web 2.0 that could put current units being worked on and assigned homework the students should be doing. The calendar would list any upcoming quizzes, test, projects, and papers, conferences, and holidays. The webpage would include a list of materiel that students may need for the week or unit being covered. So if we were doing a unit on the colonial period students could bring in material like Popsicle sticks or twigs to build miniature houses with. Students would also have a list of skills to practice at home to go along with homework. Students and parents would be able to access grades with a student id number and password. The grade book would be another web 2.0 application only accessed by student id's and passwords. The general lay out of the web page would have to be colorful, inviting and easy to read. All website would have to be very easy to navigate because everyone is not as computer savvy as their kids. I would include some soft music that would go along when you open the webpage. Pictures of current students working would be one of the main pics on the page, with parents written permission of course. Also I would have pictures of the class room structure to let parent/guardians get a feel of the class. The webpage would have to have a short tutorial to explain how to navigate the site and outlining the pages and information on the page, in case parents need to jump to a specific section. The page would include the general school information with contact information of the school, the principal and contact information of the principal. It would include the teachers and the email address for parents to contact the teacher through email or the welcoming to call the school. It would include best hours to reach the teacher during the work day as well. there will be a web 2.0 where students can have a discussion board where they can ask questions to the teacher during assigned hours and students in the class at all times. Students can discuss homework, assignments, and other school related information. Students should want to visit look at what other classmate have posted in the discussion board. Visit the website listen to the music they may be relevant to a topic being covered by the class. There will be a music section that will pertain to units being covered in class, for example music of the colonial period will have a web 2.0 application to go to. The web site should be overall friendly and informative for teachers, parents, students, principal etc.
