The school website that I visited was University of Maine, a school my brother is going to attend next fall. When I first arrive at the website there was a nice picture front and center of happy students smiling. This is good because it automatically gives you a good feeling about the place. The website allows a large amount of access without having log-in privileges. This is because the website is designed to give information to prospective students and their families. There is information on admission, majors, campus events, and research. The website is designed well because it is aesthetically pleasing and it gives large amount of information in an organized way. The website even offers quick links for easy searching.
When I am a teacher I envision myself using technology to aid students that have certain disabilities. Technology can be extremely helpful in special education and can help the students make big improvements. Technology can help teachers stay organized. When you are organized, your day seems to flow better, even if it doesn’t go completely according to plan. When you are organized you have more time to give to your students directly. This will also help to keep stress levels lower.
The Web Evaluation Wiki was slightly difficult to use, but it seemed like a useful resource for schools and educators to connect with parents and students. I liked that the Wiki was collaborative. This allowed for different opinions and interesting ideas which helped our group come up with good evaluation questions. We didn’t like the aspect of the website that erased part of what we had done, even after we saved our work. We learned that it is best to work from a word document and email files back and forth. A future career in education require teachers to know how to use these sites. It is important to learn how to use them now, before we are teaching.
