UEN website

Okay honestly I think this whole UEN website thing is a good idea not only for the students but for their parents as well. I think this is a good way for the parents to get to know their kids teacher a little better and to also keep up with the students. This way they can know what is going on in class and any homework they might have. I think also it is a good way for us as teachers to keep organized. This website has everything you need on it in one convievnent location and is user friendly. I like how this program allows for different personalities to shine and that each one you come across is different. I also think it will be good because if any other teachers want to know what you're doing you can just have them come here and they can see everything that you do. This is a good way to incorperate; beg, borrow and steal. :) Not only will it be good for parents and students as well as other teachers it will be good for me as a teacher. This way I can have a hard copy of all my curriculum and whatever else I may need. It's a central location for all my stuff and it is easy to access. Another reason i think it will be good is because it shows parents and students that I am amped about their education and learning. It will help them connect to me more and relate better to their dear old teacher. I think it's important to be able to relate to the students because this way they will respect and listen to you. It will engage them more in the learning process and that is really what I want to trigger in kids. I want them to be excited about learning and the fun that they can have with it. I think this will be a good way to do that because it will show mpre pf my fun side. I'm excited to sit and play with it some more but I think that once I understand it better I will like it more. Right now I'm just confused at how to set everything up and get it going. But once I figure that out then this website will be really cool and helpful to my students and me.
