A teacher website is a site that includes all important information for parents and other resources. Teacher websites include teacher information, school information, contact information, classroom rules, and resources for parents. These websites are made by teachers and can be found on school websites.
How can I use this when I am a teacher? A teacher website is a great way to get parents involved when they can’t come to the school. When I teach, I can use my website to lets the parents know what is going on in the classroom that week. I can also provide the homework assignments so the parents know what to work on that night for homework. I can also provide spelling words, just in case the student forgets their list at school. Lastly, I can provide all my information in an easy spot so parents can have the information just in case they lost the paper sent home at the beginning of the year.
A few pros of teacher websites are that all information needed is provided in one place. It is quick and easy to get to and the teacher and the parents can have communication without meeting. Another pro is that parents can get to know the teacher and get to know what is going on in the classroom. Good teaching websites can make parents feel like they are actually in the classroom. Some cons of teacher websites are that like everything else on computers things can go wrong. The internet can go down and then parents can’t get to the website. Also, if parents do not have the internet or a computer at home, it would make it very difficult to check the website often and to stay updated if the teacher uses the website often.
Students and parents both appreciate and benefit from a teacher's web site.
