This article talks about the importance of developing a website for a classroom and how much students and teachers would benefit from it.
This is the era of technology and we need to have the students benefit from its use. So, why not developing websites that would help both teachers and students?
By having a classroom website, students get the opportunity to upload their work. Also, in the case of Blogs, students can post their opinions and allow others to give them feedback. Another important tool would be the creation of group sites which help students a variety of activities, such as, sharing files and photos, access to a class calendar, and collaboration in general.
Teachers also benefit from these tools (Websites, Blogs, Group sites) because they have access to them regardless of where they are. Teachers can log in from any computer and check the activities as well as grading.
Hi, Cristin!
ReplyDeleteI read the article as well and thought the tables the author provided for each method of web site creation were great and organized the information in a simple and comprehensible way. It was helpful to me, personally, to see how the tools’ functionality and benefits compared with each other.
I also appreciated learning more about RSS feeds, Group sites, and Wiki web sites. It seemed like the value of each tool for teachers and students in both learning and communication was self-evident!
Thank you so much for your post!
