Reflection on Web Pages

Web pages support the NETS standard, Technology Operations and Concepts. Although students are told everything they need to know in class, often they will go home and forget important information, homework, or an upcoming event. By understanding how to use technology systems correctly, they can find all the information they need about their class online at the classroom web page. Most children will already know how to use a computer, and most likely, the internet, but showing them how to use a web page will support the standards by applying their current knowledge to the use of new technology. Having a web page will help the students and their parents keep up to date with everything going on in class, outside of class, and in the school. For this reason, everyone involved will be using this application effectively and productively, which is a NETS standard.
Using a web page will help me organize my work as a teacher because all of my class information will be in one place. I will be able to access my webpage from any computer at any time and update it with the proper information to inform my students and parents of upcoming dates and events. I will have all of the information that both students and parents need updated at all times on my webpage. By having this webpage, I will have a built-in calendar. By continuously updating it, I will not be able to forget anything important happening in my classroom. Also, depending on exactly what information is put on the webpage, it will be easy for me to have certain assignments together to print out when I need them. I can have links to certain lessons and assignments that I can access quickly, which requires no paper, and means easy organization. As long as everything is in one place, there is no better means for organization.
