In our class, we had a Professional Web Presence Project, in which we could create our own website on the Google Sites Program. It took me an incredibly long time to get the hang of the program, but after I got it it was smooth sailing. This project opened to my eyes of the professional component of open software programs. I realized the potential for a personal website, and I won't ever look back. A website that includes personal information along with professional credentials allows future employers to check out how people are along with the amount of skill they might have in a particular area.
I feel like a personal website, will help my future employers to see how I am as a person before they allow me to teach students. I think that if I go out there and really let them know what kind of a person I am and what I'm interested in along with my credentials, I might have a higher chance of getting hired. To have that alternative source of information, an employer for a school might see you as more professional, and more willing to be creative to get a job.
