Website

For my website I did a website that involved United States History. On my home page I opened with a famous quote from president Roosvelt because of his importance to American history, it draws the readers attention. History is not everyones favorite subject but big American events is something that everyone is interested in. The image on the home page is also important because students can be captured with an image because a picture is worth a 1000 words. I thought it would be important to put a class schedule on the website for communication purposes because now both students and parents know what the students will be learning for the week. Classroom reminders was also something important that I included in the website because now instead of the parents calling or e mailing me on a daily basis, they can go to the classroom reminders and know that all the important information is posted to it. Students also do not have an excuse for forgetting important information because all of it is online. The fun facts tab was a personal addition that I thought would creative. Students are always wanting to get extra credit to boost their grade and this is a productive way. The students that want to better their grade will go to the website and look at the information and find their own facts. Students learn better when they want to learn it, instead of me lecturing about it.
