Teacher Website


       I was working on my teacher website and I realized that in today’s world we have become a more technology-based society. Many assignments can be found Angel and research is derived from the internet. We live in a fast-paced society where many things have not only gone digital but now we always need to be in contact with someone. I have noticed more people talking on their cell phones doing daily activities then people being alone. Moreover, teachers are encouraged to send out emails to clarify assignments and for any questions, comments, or concerns.

       I have learned that we need to be aware of how much we take our natural world, the environment, for granted in this day and age. Today many people do not realize the impact they have on the environment. For instance, the amount of trash we have, how many times we forget to turn off the light before we leave the house, or how our children are spending more time indoors playing video games, thanks technology, then spending time riding a bike. These are things we need to consider if we plan to make a change.

       My teacher website is for both parents and students to use as a resource for education and to get in contact with me. I have provided many different educational links for my future students to use for extra practice and I have created a blog for student to student, student to teacher, and parent to teacher. This is a great way for the class to communicate using the advances we have in technology. I think that with all of the technological advances these days; I need to provide educational benefits. My website is also saving paper, because instead of printing out a weekly homework report, I can put homework assignments online and save some trees. I also think this helps because parents are extremely busy, so this helps them get involved in their child’s education without feeling obligated to sign and keep track of a million papers.
