My Teacher Resources for Web Development
is a perfect artifact for Standard I because its links provide important
resources for a teacher who would like to learn to publish information
for his students on a web page. First, it informs teachers about
ethical practices and legal ramifications of publishing teacher
materials and classroom information on the web. Being able to make
informed decisions, when choosing the content of their sites, will
protect the teachers and their districts while opening an important
line of communication with students and their families. Second,
it offers a few suggestions for content. Third, it identifies training
opportunities and resource personnel who can help. For the beginner,
the site offers three "canned" web pages of varying complexity,
where the teacher can simply edit existing text. Once he has control
and is able to update information regularly, he can begin to personalize
his site or build his own.

Title: Teacher
Resources for Web Development
Course: TATC 202 Extended Web
Authoring
Date Created: December,
2002
Source: Web resources for ethical
practices, district and campus information for teacher resources,
and my own ideas for content and design of "canned" pages
Media: Internet access, Macromedia
Dreamweaver MX, Photoshop Elements
Description: I was to create
a web site to offer a group of users in my school or district help
in creating a web site or working with a web-site related subject.
I created a rubric to evaluate this site in a related assignment.
It is linked to this site for viewing.
Rationale: Creating a website
that can be used by teachers who cannot or will not create their
own has been one of my dreams for a long time. I feel strongly that
online access to teaching materials is where we as a faculty need
to be going with technology. Those who are afraid of the scrutiny
need to take whatever steps are needed to overcome their fears.
The information it gives families about their children's educational
requirements, assignments, and testing schedules will be invaluable
to them.
Implications for future: The
groundwork is laid. A basic site is ready. The last step is to make
it available to teachers, and have it put to use. This is my goal
for next year as the LHS Tech Trainers offer Web Design training
to our Lamar faculty. An alternative is ready for those who don't
feel they can design a web page of their own, hopefully making it
possible for virtually every teacher to have some kind of online
classroom information available for their students.
Reviewer's Comments: Excellent
job! Great design and well-thought out organization.
