Blog #2

I've found the website/blog creation process to be very enlightening. This was the first time I ever created a website, so I learned a lot, ranging from uploading graphics to a website, my email address in a new way, and how I could make information more easily accessible for my future students and their parents. I don't feel that the assignment was overly difficult necessarily, but rather because it was my first time it took some time to navigate the blog site and become familiar with how to create, edit, and load. I think I had spent the most time trying to figure out how to upload pictures of my high school, along with the calender/syllabus.

I feel that this could be a very beneficial resource when I'm a teacher one day, especially because I want to make sure that if I'm ever approached by teachers that may be disgruntled because they don't know what's going on in their student's class, I'll be able to direct them to the blog so that they can become familiar with everything they need. Also, I feel it's a great way to keep all of your information organized for my benefit as a teacher.

I feel that general and ease of accessibility would be some of the greatest advantages for putting information on the web that would greatly aid students and their parents. Meanwhile, I see the only potential drawback being that not everyone has access to the internet, but I imagine that in the coming years as this technology becomes more and more feasible, the number of people that wouldn't benefit from having the information online will become fewer and farther in between.
