Module 5 Reflection

Wow!! This was just the tool I was looking for! I have toyed around with several websites to help me create a classroom website and I think Google will do the job! With that said, I know there is still a lot for me to learn and I do feel overwhelmed right now! I would really like to dive into how to say, "make it look cuter" and more trendy. :) I follow different teacher idols and my blog still does not even come close to how theirs is. Oh it is the little things in life... I also want to really dissect Google Sites more so that when I do use it in my own classroom, it will be very FAST and EASY! Sorry, but us busy teachers/busy lifers, do not have time to spend hours and hours trying to figure all of this out. Hopefully with some practice, blogging and website design will be easy. 

My hope is to create a website for my Kinder parents to use as a way to stay better connected with my classroom. I would love to post pictures, references, resources, and other useful tips and tricks along with important items and dates for families to keep up on. I think this would be a great way for families to stay connected with me over the summer too! I would hope that I could post fun ideas and activities so students would not get "summer brain" as badly. On the SMAR model, I think this would help students achieve the modification level. As far as me for technology, having a website really connects my classroom to the outside world. 

Questions... not really at this time. I need to go back and review the information about custom searches. That part I must have missed?

Also, I hope we will not just keep plowing through and really work on perfecting our sites. I would love to learn more!

  1. Megan, your layout, color choice, and background is very relaxing...I love it! When I taught kindergarten, I 'borrowed' ideas from lots of kindergarten classroom sites. Websites are such a great way to display student work.
