Teacher Web Pages

A teacher web page is a site where teachers can post information about themselves, the school, and the activities in their classes. There are endless possibilities with using web pages as a mode of communication between teachers, parents, and students. I will use a teacher web page mainly for the students' sake. On the web page there will be a calendar with homework assignments posted, attachments to the daily presentations, and attachments for quiz and test reviews. I also think it would be nice to include (with parent permission, of course) pictures and blog-type entries from students about class activities for the parents to see. I think that there is an abundant amount of benefits of a teacher web page, the biggest of which is that teachers have easy access to their child's classroom. Also, if a student is absent, that student can easily access the day's lesson, enabling them to not fall too far behind. However, one con to the web page, from a teacher's perspective, is the work needed to keep the web page up to date. I plan on posting lessons daily, which means I have to update the site daily. However, there is so much work involved in teaching already that teachers are already bogged down without a web page on their plates. It's going to be a difficult task to keep up with, but it will be worth the effort.
