Looking Back on Using TeacherWeb and Its Capabilities
Kimberly Schutte
After having created my TeacherWeb and discussing in our groups the possibilities for the use of a TeacherWeb in our future teaching, I see a few ways that it could help support my classroom and my students. TeacherWeb can be beneficial for both teachers teaching and students learning. First, TeacherWeb can support teachers and their ability to teach because it allows parents, guardians, care givers, students, and other teachers to be involved in the learning process for their classroom. By providing information on a TeacherWeb kind of website, everyone involved in the student’s education can be aware what is occurring in the classroom. It is important to understand that teaching and learning is going to be a team effort in order to be effective. Another way that a TeacherWeb type of website would benefit teachers is that it allows for quick assignments, reflections, or review quizzes. I think using the review quizzes is beneficial specifically for teachers because it allows teachers to make a quick quiz and have students take it to be a quick assessment of student progress for a certain subject, topic, or lesson. In fact, these quizzes will be scored automatically as well as can provide the students with the correct answer so that they may see the answer right away when they take the quiz. For the teachers, it can provide them with information about the students’ progress in a quick and easy way. In addition, using a grade page on the TeacherWeb allows teachers to have students’ grades be easily accessible but private as well so that students do not have to wait for paper grade reports. However, the TeacherWeb pages are not just beneficial to teachers but to the students as well. Learning can be enhanced with this type of website because on TeacherWeb, teachers can provide students with a wide variety of resources available especially such as web resources and web 2.0 resources. Even further with the web 2.0 resources, students can connect with other students on educational wikis and blogs to collaborate on projects and homework. As well, these resources provide students to become engaged in their learning with a fun, interactive website placed on the TeacherWeb. Another specific way that students can benefit from a TeacherWeb is that it can provide a class schedule for homework, tests, projects, and important school dates. This allows for students to be aware what is going on in class, what is coming up and what is do so that they may focus on what they are learning. As well, when students are absent from class which may be due to sickness, family obligations, and school-related activities, they may check the TeacherWeb to see what has happened in class that day. This allows for them to not fall behind as well as obtain class handouts that they may have missed. As well, students can access these handouts at home if they forget them at school, misplace them, or lose them. All in all, a TeacherWeb kind of website can be beneficial for students and teachers in their collaborative learning experience.
