Class Reflection #9

I asked my cooperating teacher if the class that I observed this semester had a classroom website. She job shares with another woman who has like 3 or 4 degrees in education. The two of them decided that they did not have a need for a classroom website. I couldn't believe it! How can one get so many degrees in education and reach the conclusion that a classroom website is not necessary?! I feel like every teacher should have a class website! Parents want to know what their kids are up to. What better way to fill them in than to have a class website??? I really was shocked that they felt that they didn't need one. As a teacher I will always have a regularly updated class website. I'll take an oath to it right now. I didn't feel this way before I took tech. ed. I thought that it seemed like a cool idea, but now i see it as an absolute necessity.
