Teacher Web Reflection

Teacher Web is valuable resource for students, teachers, and parents. Students have another resource with this product, as they can look for things they may not have see in class: for example, they may want to know what the math homework was. Teachers have another resource to help their students succeed. Parents can help keep their children accountable by looking at announcements, class grades, and other resources. I don’t like the way Teacher Web makes one type in the password for every little thing; it makes things a bit of a hassle. Also, I think that I would want a free service if I wanted an online website. I think the website would be improved if it was a little more visually appealing.
I would use Teacher Web to communicate homework, announcements, and grades. This comes from the previous paragraph: parents will create accountability, and teachers and students will have resources to help student progress.
I would use a teacher website to engage students by giving them information on the website for them to go to help them grow academically. For example, I could have a web links section for them to look at to create interests. Also, students generally feel more comfortable in class when they are aware of their grades. This way, the students will have one thing less to worry about, so they can focus on their learning.
