Teacher pages on school websites are great! They contain links to contact teachers, and they contain information about teachers' interests and hometown and educations. Students and parents alike can visit school websites to find out more about their future teachers, if they just received their schedules. In university, students can look at professors and grad students areas of research as well, which helps foster connections. I think teacher pages are a great resource, especially if they're regularly updated.


Here is a link to a the homepage of a teacher at Marianna High School. On this page, it includes the types of classes she teaches, the syllabus for her upcoming AP class, and contact information. She teaches twelfth-grade students.

Blogging is fun! It is more relaxed than other mediums of communication. I get to talk more freely, here. I can speak using my opinion, but I can also engage in intelligent discussion. I like that we all are discussing the same topics, but bring different insight to each conversation. It puts our different experiences with education in perspective. My classmates are really smart; I like to read what they have to say.

During the Web Evaluation assignment, I became more familiar with the mechanics of making tables in Word. I found it difficult, at first, to confine the table within the margins, but it turned out nicely. It was hard to decide on which questions to ask, and how to formulate them into "yes or no" questions. Next time, I would probably use less questions that cover more material. Overall, I'm pretty pleased with how my final result looked.


I commented on Minnie's and Karla's blogs. :)
