In week 12, we learned how to create a professional web presence. There are many different sites that can be used to create one. In class, there was a demonstration using Google Sites. Although this sounds very difficult, I ultimately found out that Google Sites was very easy to use. One of our projects this semester was to create our own professional web presence. Required in our web presence was a home page, a personal information page, a portfolio page, and a vita page. This was a very useful project because once I am looking for a job my future employer will be able to view this when deciding whether to hire me or not. I plan to keep it up to date because we learned that a professional web presence is definitely a great thing to have when applying for jobs. It shows employers that you are professional and it also helps them to have a better look at you as a person. It is definitely better than just simply handing in a resume.
Having a professional web presence will be very useful to me as a teacher. It will help me to communicate with the parents of my students. The parents will be able to see my previous experience and also see sample lesson plans I have created. This will help them to trust me in educating their children. I also plan to post pictures of the classroom and different activities the students will be working on in class. This will help the parents become involved in the classroom even if they are working all day long. In addition, I plan to teach my students how to create their own professional web presence. I believe it will be my job as a teacher to help my students succeed. Having a professional web presence will be very helpful to them once they are looking for jobs.
Below is an article that describes how to create a high quality professional web presence.
