Teacher Web Pages

A teacher web page is a website that is usually created by a teacher that provider his/her students with information about class, school and other resources.  They can also provide a blog for other teachers to communicate with each other.

Teacher web pages can be used in the class to help your student with certain subjects.  You could keep powerpoints online for students to view and download.  They also could provide review games for during and after class that students could use.

The pros about teacher web pages would be that they can provide help to students and can be a great resource.  They also can keep teachers in contact with students' parents and other fellow teachers.

The cons about teacher web pages would be that they can be a hassle to keep up with if you forget about updating.  Some times the site can become out of date and not as helpful as they should be.

Your Learning Style Preferences

You are a...

29% Visual Learner

41% Auditory Learner

29% Kinesthetic Learner

I believe I am more a visual learner than an auditory learner.  I like seeing concepts and visualizing situations.  I think when I can see something rather than just hear about it, that I can comprehend it better.  Test like these are fun and can help students figure out what type of learning style they prefer. 

Web Quests!!

A web quest is an inquiry-oriented lesson format in which most or all the information that learners work with comes from the web. These can be created using various programs, including a simple word processing document that includes links to websites. The focus of a web quest would be that the students grasp concepts through the use of the Internet. Students have met the objective when they have gathered information and are able to show what they have learned.  The strongest educational reason to use a web quest is to provide students with specific information in an interactive structured format.  Another advantage to web quests would be that they can provide less experienced students the structure needed to learn.  The greatest drawbacks of web quests are the lack of student thinking and lack of options.
