"Personal site: for and against"

Many people maintain personal websites because they are the most effective medium to express their opinions or creative endeavors that, otherwise, simply would not have an outlet. It is true that personal websites are becoming increasingly popular. The main aim of a personal website is to unveil your personal identity and possibly your distinct qualities and business skills to the world.

There are many advantages of using your own website.

First, a personal site gives you a central location to manage and store your documents, content, links, and contacts.

Second, a website can be your global “tribune” where you are able to share your knowledge, experience and enthusiasm with people who have common interests, but with whom you might not otherwise have crossed paths.

Moreover, a website can introduce you to the secrets of www and is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. It will be your hardest-working employee, never getting sick, or taking holiday.

However, maintaining your personal website has its drawbacks. One of them is that putting a lot of work into a website, you commit yourself to it, and lock yourself into their data formats too. An additional disadvantage is that the information that it provides is not always accurate or up-to-date.

To sum up, personal website is an effective source of information and it is very important to create your own one about anything you like and get it all for everyone to see.

Now, many have realized the need to have a website. For business it has become a fixture of the same as the telephone and business card. For the teacher it's a great exchange of experience and access to diverse information. This is an advantage. You settle for the site, where information  is the same as that of an ordinary business card. A drawback-free sites are the property of other companies, so your site can simply disappear. For me it is just new knowledge, It`s new and at the same time strange. It`s a great opportunity to grow in the sphere of computer technologies

And I learned that in the Internet sites regularly appear  made in Flash. This is usually entertainment or promotional resources devoted to video games, movies and commercial innovations.

My personal site… Some years ago I couldn’t think about it, I couldn’t imagine that I would be able to create my own personal site. This word sounded as something fantastic and unreal for me. In the Internet I saw many personal sites last time. Some of them were wonderful, very useful and helped me in my work to prepare for my lessons. I appreciated people, who created such sites. But sometimes I felt a great disappointment. Why do teachers create sites which are absolutely useless, have nothing interesting for lessons? What makes teachers have their own sites? Do I need it? Why? Would my site express my individuality? Such questions and many others came to my mind, did not let me work “as usual”. And at last I understood that I am “ready”. I want to share my experience to other colleagues. I want not only to see successes of other people but to show results of my work too. That`s why I decided on creating my site. Sometimes it was not easy, I spent many days working without any help. But now I am proud of my site and my only purpose is to be useful for others. But I should say that with my personal site I got not only the opportunity for my creation but a lot of troubles. The first and the main one is shortage of time. But I don`t regret having it.

My personal site … To have or not to have it? You should decide it yourself.

Creating a Website. Pros and Cons

It is exiting thing to have own site! You have a lot of oppotunities to comunicate and to teach.

It is very difficult to find time for learning IT - competence, to serve site!

But we should know all our students do!

Как я делаю сайт. Зарегистрировалась на сайте, выбрала себе образец. Попробовала кое-что в нем поменять. Посмотрела поле ( т.е фон) - слишком белое.

          Having your own website today is  a necessity.There are many different ways to benefit from having a website, whether it is for personal gain, or to aid your business success.

      Those who have their own personal website designing generally use them to further an interest or a hobby; having a web site is a great way to share and exchange knowledge with others.With your personal website you  have a freedom of being able to post your information on your website, hence on the Internet, at any time of the day; available information of all variations is increasing at a huge rate.

   Just as there are advantages to having a business site, there are disadvantages to having personal sites. One of the biggest is posting too much personal information. This can come in the form of putting in particular information (your full name and address, for example) or “saying” something in one of your posts that you may regret later. Although you can easily delete posts that you have written, blogs have a funny way of staying in the memory of search engines – such as Google. It's important to never post something that you might be afraid will come back to you.

Creating a Website. Pros and Cons. I could hardly ever imagine that someday I'll be creating my own website and that I'll have an opportunity to get in touch with people all around the world. But everything is changing, you know... I strongly believe that there are a lot of people who see great perspectives in having a personal website. I am one of them. Firstly, it seems to me that your website is a good chance to share your ideas, experience and teaching practice with your colleagues, students and people who are interested in it. Secondly, the process of site making is rather challenging and exciting like any other thing that is still unknown. On the other hand, to run a site properly you are to have necessary IT competencies and be computer-friendly. Moreover, you should always think over its contents to make it informative, interesting and attractive to meet different tastes and demands. You must be aware of what is going on and it's not easy, I suppose. Nevertheless, if you are not going to lag behind your students who are, in fact, more computer literate and to broaden your horizons the only way out is to create your personal website.

I think, there is nothing perfect in our life and everything has its drawbacks and advantages.

 First of all, personal site is necessary for experience exchange. Teachers don’t have a lot of spare time, so they can find ready information for lessons. There are a lot of topics, songs, plays, presentations on web. You have a chance to choose the information you need and you like best.

As for me, I have already my site, but I would like to learn more about site- building. Development of IT gives us every day new opportunities to know more, to learn, use necessary information.  No doubt, it is important to have personal site nowadays. On my opinion it has more advantages.

"Personal site: for and against"

     The site-building is a way of “self-reflection” and “self-expression” of your professional activity. Some people think it has more drawbacks than advantages.

          It is true that Personal site has given us the possibility of reading vast quantities of information on an unlimited number of ready topics, presentation and conspectus, interesting facts, useful for the future lesson. 

  However, the personal site has its drawbacks. The main one is instability - periodically something doesn't work servers and so on. Secondly, it is necessary to call hours to the support service. In addition, it can be quite costly to log onto and use.
  All in all, the personal site is a useful addition to our lives when it is used wisely, but it is important not to think of it as the only source of information and to use books as well. It is cool to have your own site.

Personal site: for and against

From my every day experience and observation I can state several factors, which defend the statement that with the help of technology, teachers and students nowadays can learn more information and learn it more quickly. I say about personal site. It has its advantages and disadvantages.

First of all, creating my own site will enable me to post important information and extra materials online. Personal site can be important tool for sharing useful information and tips among colleagues, dispersing information to students, or keeping in contact with parents. I understand that a teacher's site has to be informative but also entertaining. I think a teacher's personal site can be a perfect example of education and entertainment. But a teacher's site must not be too entertaining because its main goal is still to educate.

To my mind creating a personal site is not very difficult. The most difficult part of it is to maintain your site and spend enough time on it to make it interesting and informative. It means you will have to surf the Internet to choose proper illustrations, consult an online dictionary to find the definition of a word, etc. It takes time and effort.

To summarize, I think a teacher's site makes language studies more efficient and it helps you "inspire, motivate, change the world".
