Teacher pages on a school's website are essential in this day and age. Having free access to a student's assignments and class calendar are not only beneficial to the parent, but the student as well. Harrison School for the Performing Arts has a clear and clean website design with the teacher pages easily accessible. Click on any submenu under the "Departments" tab, and you will find a list of varying departments with corresponding teacher pages filled with contact information and curriculum material.
As a student, I thoroughly enjoy how user-friendly Canvas is. I plan on implementing Canvas with my future students, or encourage my school to invest in the program because it is a simplistic yet effective educational tool. I can use Canvas to share information, assignments, updates, and grades easily--it's all there at the click of a mouse! Punctuality and accountable are two important values for me as a student and a teacher; Canvas will help me implement my principles among my students.
Using Wiki was slightly confusing for me. Primarily, the overall design was very outdated in appearance, and I had a difficult time physically identifying tabs I needed to click on to update the pages. Besides that, the program is relatively easy once you are acclimated with the tabs and the material. I would not use Wiki with any students who are not in high school because of the confusing layout and design; older students could handle understanding the content of the program.
