Classroom Webpage Rationale

Context:  This assignment was completed in my CI 3750 Integrating Media and Technology into Teaching under the instruction of Mary Rogers in block one of Spring 2007.  The technologies used for this assignment were Microsoft Publisher and the Internet.

Impact:  This assignment was intended for students and parents to become familiar with the resources I made available in my classroom.  Students and parents could see when assignments were do, explore informational and educational websites and see pictures of my practicum experience with their children.
