This week we learned about creating our google site. I was really excited to learn how to do this because I enjoy being on the computer and learning how to do things on the computer. I'd like to learn as much technology as I can. We learned how to create multiple pages, and different kinds of pages: like lists, file cabinets, calendar, etc. I thought it was really neat that we could go into our Google calendar and add things to our class calendar and then those things show up on our google site. I also thought it was neat how we could add assignments for the week. The announcements page is also great to let parents know of things coming up. All of the pages we added would be extremely helpful in the future classroom.
I think it makes you more efficient and organized as a teacher if you have something like this in place. It helps students stay on top of their work when they are not able to come to school and it also helps parents know what is going on and what is due so they can encourage their child to do the assignments. The resources page is also really neat, instead of sending home a piece of paper with links on it you can just direct students to look at the class site and they will go directly to the page you want them to go. I think that will add a lot of convienence and save a lot of time for students and also for the teacher in the future. I am really excited to use this tool in the future. People are using technology so much these days and this is one of those kinds of technology that should definitely be taken advantage of. I think not only will I as a teacher love this tool but I also think the parents and students will really find it useful.
