Most of the teacher websites I looked at had most of their information available to the public. Although, when I did click on a lot of the teacher websites from the two high schools, a lot of teachers did not seem to use or update their websites. The ones that did use their website usually provided calendars and various links to outside resources. A lot of the links provided were extra reading resources and games to help with what they were learning. The following website was an extra link from the original list of teachers. This teacher seemed to put in a lot of extra effort to share information with her students.

Throughout this class, I have definitely learned that technology can really come in handy while teaching. I have always been the person to prefer a pencil and paper and the more classic way of teaching, but sometimes technology does really make life easier. In the future, I think I would use technology to help give information out to my students and their parents, as well as distributing class materials. I would probably use Google Calendar and Google Classroom, along with a teacher website for general information and to give parents access to the same information my students have.
PBWorks has been an interesting experience for me because I have never used anything like it. It was definitely useful for Assignment 2: Website Evaluation and was a good way to collaborate. Although, one thing that was frustrating for my group was that we could not all edit the same page at the same time. Otherwise, it was a nice way to organize different pages all for the same purpose. As I aim to teach elementary school, I do not know how useful and easy it would be for my students, as even I had trouble navigating and working it when I first used it. I could possibly use it, though, as a class website instead of creating my own from scratch. I could create different pages and it is public.
