Teacherweb Reflection

The class website is a huge help in organization. By allowing students to get access to class projects, due dates, and grades at all times, they stay connected with the class. If they fail to write something down, they can just go to the website and check out the information. If students need extra materials, the teacher can post them on the website. For example, web tutorials and extra homework problems can be added to supplement problems students have. In addition to making information more accessible, the class website can be referenced in class as an easy way to organize lectures and handouts. Instead of having things saved in different places, the website can contain links, word documents, and anything else that you may need to teach, this way it is all in the same area for easy access.

The two biggest advantages to having a class website are: easy accessibility and easy organization. As mentioned before, the class (given they have internet access) can view the website at any time in case they have forgotten that week's assignment or they want to check their grade. Also, everything that is necessary for the class may be added into the website so the students can easily find it (organization).

The biggest disadvantage to the website is if any homework on necessary information is put on it that the students must access from home, some students who do not have internet access readily available will be at a disadvantage which may be unfair.
