TeacherWeb® Helps Pre-service Teachers Get ‘Schooled’ For Free
Ridgefield, CT, April, 2006 -
TeacherWeb®, Inc. the most widely used online source for educator’s
websites, recently announced it is expanding its program for pre-service teachers by offering a free eportfolio.
Many schools of education are now requiring that candidates for an education degree
keep an e-portfolio. This generally includes relevant information such as one’s teaching philosophy,
future goals, and sample lesson plans.
TeacherWeb® provides the appropriate template in an easily
updatable format free of charge for the duration of the pre-service teacher’s education. After that the
website can be maintained for a small fee if desired.
TeacherWeb’s pre-service program presently has over 300 Schools of Education in colleges and
universities across the US and Canada. Professors contact TeacherWeb® at info@TeacherWeb.com
and request free access for their Education majors while they are active student teachers or enrolled in
an Educational Technology course as part of their curriculum.
“We cater to full time individual teachers and school districts, and are happy to provide this service for
pre-service teachers at no charge. Young teachers are our future customers, as well as the future of
education,” explained Jeanne Bodnar, President of TeacherWeb. “They have grown up with computers
and this is a very familiar form of communication to them. We look forward to expanding this program to
many colleges and universities in the coming school year.” Bodnar is confident that as Internet use
becomes a core subject in the pre-service teacher’s prospectus, TeacherWeb® will become a key tool
as well.
TeacherWeb® gives pre-service teachers an edge when applying for jobs, because it demonstrates that
they are comfortable with technology and are interested in keeping open the lines of communication
between the classroom and the home.
TeacherWeb® has helped teachers extend the classroom beyond the school day since 1996. They
provide customizable websites for teachers and schools in an easy-to-use layout for only $27 a year.
Without any prior website design skills, teachers can post homework assignments, grades or
announcements, and create worksheets and WebQuests. Teachers also have access to WebQuests
posted by other educators as well. A WebQuest is an Internet-based explorative assignment of a
specific educational topic presented in a standardized format and shared among teachers and schools.
With thousands available for every grade level and classroom subject, TeacherWeb® has the largest
searchable database for WebQuests on the Internet. Currently over a million students and parents
regularly access TeacherWeb® for their homework assignments and other relevant classroom
information in thousands of schools across the US, Canada, and in American and International schools
around the world
