Reflections on Using TeacherWeb

Use of TeacherWeb in the Future
In the future, I could use a TeacherWeb site to keep students updated on their grades, due dates, and post assignments. If students loose a handout, they will be able to view it online.
This setup is also a way that parents can stay up to date with what their children are doing in their classes. Parents can then take an active part in the students learning.

Student Learning Enhancements
The TeacherWeb can be beneficial for certain students with learning disabilities. These students become engaged in virtual labs and can learn at their own pace. Refer to following article:

Windelspecht, M. (2001). Technology in the Freshman Biology Classroom: Breaking the Dual Learning Curve. The American Biology Teacher, 63(2), 96-101.


A site like TeacherWeb will also allow students that want to expand on their knowledge in the field, to venture out to other sites of interest from the links section. The student could then approach the teacher with further questions from this information. The teacher can then direct the student on where to find more information or experiments.
