This week in class I learned more about creating a google site. I was required to make a site for my future classroom that has a calendar,announcements, homework file, resources for my students, and a file cabinet. It is really exciting all the things we are able to do with these sites and will be a great resource for my classroom. We also sent letters to teachers asking to make media materials for their classroom.
The google sites have gotten me really excited to have my own classroom. The students will enjoy the site because they will have instant access to what we are doing in class if they are absent. It will also help me as a teacher so that I can hold the students responsible for going online to see what they missed. Other teachers will enjoy this site because they will be aware of what I am teaching in the classroom so hopefully other health classes will be covering the same unit. Parents will also enjoy access to this site because they will know what is being covered along with being able to know who is teaching their children with the "About Me" section and how to contact their student's teacher.
My future students will be able to relate to my classroom more by being able to have access to classroom material online. I can give my students assignments that correlate with the resources listed on the site. This will help keep them engaged by having homework to do online while keeping them exploring websites that are educational and have correct information. In health, there are so many misconceptions and teens are given false information. By giving them the tools to find the correct information, they will be able to make knowledgeable decisions about their life.
