Emerging Technology

The Personal Website

It may sound as if the personal website or a teachers website is not an emergent technology, however, according to Horizon Report 2009, we are still four to five years away from the average person having their own website. It is not necessarily a common form of communication between teachers, students, and parents. As we move forward in society and the digital age, the personal website makes sense as an ever increasingly form of creativity, innovation, and communication. I understand it may add additional work for a teacher to have to update a website, however, there are ways of including resources that can help students throughout the years at that particular age. Teachers have an abundance of information and what a way to enrich student's learning by providing them with resources that a teacher has accummulated through professional, college, and career experiences. My goal is to continue my blog and website and hopefully, be able to create classroom websites that will inspire students to love learning and find what they are good it in life!
