TeacherWeb Reflections

1. Describe at least 2 ways that the use of a class web site like TeacherWeb could be used to support your future teaching. Provide some specific details for each example.
I could use TeacherWeb to keep my grades updated and allow the students to view their grades at any time. Instead of always calculating assignemnts when students would like to know their grades, TeacherWeb allows the students to always view their final grades as scores are entered. I could also use TeacherWeb to post class handouts. Often times students lose their handouts, was absent so didn't recieve a handout, or there may be no need to print the handout so students can just log onto TeacherWeb and get all the information they may need.

2. Identify 2 ways students could use a class web site like TeacherWeb to enhance their learning. Provide some details for each way identified.
TeacherWeb can enhance student learning in many ways including allowing them to use online interactive tools. Student's can use TeacherWeb to navigate to various sites that may have instructional videos or games to enhance their learning of a certain topic. Student's could also use TeacherWeb to take quizes or exams. This could really help many students that struggle taking assessments in the high pressure of a classroom setting. Giving the student an opportunitiy to take a quiz their own environment could be very beneficial to their learning experience.
