4. Student Learning and Interaction
   
1. As a teacher you can link activities to your website for students to use for extra learning
2. Students could come to your class website to find assignment information, grades, notes, extra learning, whatever you put on your page.
3. Students could also learn how to set up their own website by using a class website and making changes or adding things, or by creating their own for a project.
4. Students could keep a blog about something they found interesting each day of class, then other students could post comments on their blog, and vice versa.
5. How does it Add Value to the Classroom?
1. Students would be responsible for checking their own grades and for any missing assignments.
2. Students would be responsible for keeping track of any assignments they missed when absent, and emailing the teacher for information they missed.
3. By having older students keep notes they would be more involved in the class, and having them post the notes online would make them responsible for other students learning the material.
4. Keeping the standards you are learning accessible for students would let them know what they should be learning, and why.
5. Putting online activities, videos, notes, and other learning experiences on your website would help students to be more engaged in their learning. It would also help the teacher to be more prepared for class by having additional experiences easily accessible during their lesson.
