Creating a Web Page

I am excited to get started on our next major assignment--creating a Web Page. I know most school's have their own websites, but I wonder how many teachers actually have webpages listed on those websites. For my kids' school, the website is very thorough and for those teachers who want to post webpages, they can. Unfortunately, the three teachers that my children have had have not opted to do so, but I do think that doing this is very helpful to all parties involved, the teacher, the student, and the parents. For example, if a child forgets the homework assignment or the ditto for the homework, it would be great if the webpage posted it and the parent or student could print it off at home. Also, I think it's a great way for teachers to keep parents informed about upcoming events, lessons being studied, etc.

The points made in this blog are great points - a Web page is important for both the students and parents alike. It keeps everyone informed. Once children get passed a certain grade, they seem to "forget" to bring anything home. Being able to communicate to all the parents universally is a plus and it makes a teachers' lives and students' lives so much easier. Parents are in a much better position to stay on top of the own children. Wow - the WEB has made life so much easier!

I would agree with the previous poster that the points brought up in your post are spot on. Class websites are definitely an important piece of the technology puzzle and can be a major benefit to all the parties involved: the student, the teacher, and the parents.
