Website

I have made my 2nd ever website and it is at this domain:

http://www.BPsDomain.weebly.com

In regards to teaching students new content or even old content I believe I could use a website quite effectively. Imagine for example this scenario. A quarter of your students are going to be away for a period of time (say three days) on an excursion or are ill. Provided these students have internet access at home or where they are going students would be able to access class material without having to be in the classroom (Think Moodle). This would stop students from falling behind and also allow other students who lose handouts, revision sheets etc to simply download them off the internet using the school system, library or home network without asking the teacher. From the days I have been at MNSHS (North) and MSHS (Milton Street) I have seen that students asking for handout they have lost causes alot of hassles for teachers who only print out a certain amount. A website I believe would eliminate this hassle. Secondly (like moodle) if possible I would film the lessons I take in the classroom and upload them onto the website thus facilitating to Audio students needs. I still haven't worked out how this technology will be able to be used in regards to kinaesthetic students. Perhaps this could be facilitated by having a link to a forum/chat room (Mibbit for example) so that students are able to chat and collaborate on things they have learn't and also ask the teacher questions outside of school hours (i.e Weekends or holidays).

In the future I can definently see myself utilising this type of technology to facilitate learning in my classroom by having an external place where students can access information pertaining to the terms work etc.
