Introduction
This
project is intended for the use in the classroom. The website developed
is for a high school statistics course at Libertyville High School.
The website contains information relating to the course: expectations,
assignments, teacher information, and class notes as needed. The
website is setup for easy use and also so that pages can be printed out
with as little extra graphics or information. The colors are the
school colors with the "Wildcat" paw in the upper left corner. The
site is easy to navigate with links between each page.
Goal
The main goal of the web site is
to keep both the students and parents connected to the class and to me,
the teacher. Many times parents are not fully informed of the amount
of classwork and homework that students have in class. By utilizing
this website, it will be a good tool for my students. Eventually,
if this website is used and appreciated by the students, site for all my
classes will be developed. The math department coordinator is also
interested in seeing the final product.
Conclusion
This project was a good step toward integrating more
technology into my classrooms. Hopefully, this will be utilized in
the upcoming year by my students. After a year, I will sit down and
evaluate the website from student suggestions. Overall, I learned
something about myself as an educator and I want to continue to help my
students to the best of my ability.
