Having a Class Website....

I am so excited that we learned how to create a class website in class this past week. I know it will be a very valuable tool for me to use as a teacher. One way a class website would really help me out in my classes is by holding information that I want my students to know. If they have a question about an assignment, what is coming up in the week or if they have a question for me, they can refer to the syllabus, calendar and about me information on my website. I think it is also a great way to make the learning experience more interactive as they complete assignments. On a class website I can post pictures about recipes we will be making and patterns we will be sewing. Students can refer to the website in order to prepare for class. I also think a class website would be a great way to let my students know how they are doing in reference to grades and the completion of assignments. It is also a great way for me to communicate with students. If I have something I would like them to know or look at and I do not have time in class to talk about it I can refer them to the website and it would all be laid out for them there.
