website

This week in our IT 365 class we all learned how to make our very own webpage. How cool is that! Our accounts on Google have the program where we can make the web page for free! Every teacher loves that. It is very easy to make and there are tutorials on how to do it. We acted like we were already classroom teachers and made a web pages for the class that we would want to teach. We included a home page. This page included things like the name of our webpage, introduction to my class and a little introduction for the parents to make them feel comfortable. The next page was my course information. This page included the rules for my class, expectations, materials needed for my class and syllabus for the 9 weeks. My next section included a personal page. Just where I told a little bit about myself so that the parents could get to know me a little bit. The last page included web links to games that might be helpful throughout the year. On that page you could put any kind of web link that your parents or kids could use. This was a great experience to learn in my class. Any school that you go to, you will be pushed to make your own webpage for your class. It's a fun and creative way to get out the important things before the class actually starts. I can say that I will definitely be using this in my teaching career.
 This activity ties into the fifth standard in the NETS, digital citizenship. This is where students understand human, cultural, and societal issues related to technology and practice legal and ethical behavior. This ties into it because the students have to be responsible with making a webpage. Anything and everything that goes on the internet is public.
