I noticed early on in my teaching career that there was a huge disconnect between teachers and parents. In my county, there currently is an online system in place that allows parents to see test and homework scores – the “too late” system. It’s “too late,” because by the time the parents see these grades, their kids are already failing. A complicated log-in process, along with common glitches in the system, doesn’t help matters either.
I developed a solution to these problems – my own website for my students and their parents – ShareTheLesson.com. The site’s content includes resources like class lessons, PowerPoints, homework assignments, test dates, resources, and more.
Sites like Microsoft Office Live, WordPress, and BlogSpace, allow you to develop a website for free. And, you don’t have to know fancy web language either.
I would recommend a website for every teacher. I know my students check it regularly [both in class and on their own free time], and I am consistently getting compliments from parents on the easy navigation and reliability of the site. Plus, parents can now take a proactive approach to their children’s education, instead of a reactive approach.
i am trying to make website my future. but, i think im still in a long way to glory. but its true, i recommend websites to teachers to. everyone could access it anywhere and anytime.
