Teacher Web Pages

A teacher web page is a place online where teachers can keep resources for their students and parents. It usually includes sections with homework, recent projects the class has done, what they're going to do next, and so on. Some teachers also put up pictures of the kids that show what they've been doing in class. It also offers the teacher's contact information for parents.
When I teach, I think a teacher web page would be very helpful. I definitely want to include a homework section so students can see what their homework is if they forgot or so parents can see what the student has for homework. I definitley think a web page would be an excellent place to communicate. I would put reminders on about things that needed to be brought in or reminders about school being off. I also would like to put pictures up of the students so the parents can see real examples of what the students are doing in the classroom.
I think web pages have many pros. They are a good source of information for both the parent and the student. I also think they're a great reminder of homework, important events, and a place where you can put announcements about what is coming up. I also think it's a good place to show what's going on in the classroom with pictures and information.
Some cons of web pages are that if they aren't done well they look sloppy and aren't helpful. Also, some parents may be opposed to pictures of their children being posted on them. Also, for students whos family doesn't have a computer they may feel left out.
Overall, I think web pages are a very convient and effective tool for teachers if managed  correctly.

My Personal Learning Style

My top learning style was visual. I completely agree with this. I learn through pictures and diagrams and love examples. My second style was auditory and I feel like a learn good using both of them together. When I study I look at what I'm studying and read it out loud at the same time. It really helps. I almost always make notecards for studying with is visual and I appreciate powerpoints and handouts in class especially with examples. So I think I am most definitely a visual learner.

Webquests

Webquests are a lesson format on the internet that students complete mostly using diffferent websites. Students usually complete webquests on their own following the instructions by completing various tasks online using different websites.
I think webquests could be a very useful tool for teachers to use in the classroom. I would use webquests in my classroom to introduce topics, as a project, or as a way for students to explore a topic in depth. Webquests could also help in my classroom as a lesson for the students to work on if I was going to be out of the classroom for a couple days.
Webquests have many pros and cons. A pro of webquests is that it allows the student to work independently with teacher directed lessons. Another pro is that it helps the students to search for information on the internet using provided sights. Another pro is that webquests can be used in a variey of ways. A con of webquests is that some students may not be able to complete the work independently and will still need to be directed by the teacher. Another con of webquests is that they do take some time and effort to make. They aren't always readily available.
