Ms. Gray's Kindergarten Classroom

This is my practice website for my classroom. I found this to be a very good resource for teachers. Since internet and technology are constantly growing, teachers making a website is a good and easy way to for teachers to relay important information to students and parents. Teachers can include contact information, class rules, upcoming events, assignments, personal information, and more. As said in the NETs-T standard 3. Model Digital Age Work and Learning c. Communicate relevant information and ideas effectively to students, parents, and peers using a variety of digital age media and formats. Teacher making their own website helps teachers follow that standard. On the website, teachers could set it up as a possible way of communication. Instead of using email or phone, parents could write the teacher a message through the website if set up properly. Also by using a website, it encourages parents and guardians to be more involved with technology. Often the elder generations are not as technology involved as the younger generations. If parents know this technology is to better their child's education they will be more likely to use it. Parents being involved also relates to the same NETs-T standard as previously mentioned.
