After looking at a couple different teachers most of their tabs were the same:
Most of the teachers I looked at had blank pages, but there were a couple that changed the tabs a little and uploaded their syllabus or their expectations for the class:
.
I think this is a really good tool if the teachers decide use it. It would be a place for all the students at the high school to go to see all of their teachers in one place. The teachers can edit the tabs to make the information apply to them and then inside the tab they can add whatever information they think is important for their students. I definitely think this is a great place for syllabus like the teacher above did.
I envision myself using my own personal website a lot. I am planning on being an Elementary School Teacher and will need to be able to stay in contact with the parents more than the students when it comes to school plans. I will have different tabs like Class calendar, Homework, Helpful websites, etc. This way the parents will be able to have everything at their finger tips whenever they need it. I also think it is extremely important that if I do this I need to stay on top of it and make sure it is constantly updated. There is nothing my frustrating, in my opinion, than a teacher having a tool and a parent or student trying to go use it, and there isn't information on it or it is old information, so it doesn't do them any good!
I didn't go to the Technology Sandbox :(
Great post, Sydney!
