In this lesson we learned about web presence and how to have one. We had a web presence activity to accompany this lesson  where we made a website that gave information on our background, resume, and projects that we have done.

This is useful to teachers because parents want to know who the person is that is teaching their students. By supplying them with a brief explanation through something like this they can quickly see what you are about and that you are qualified for the job (by your resume).

When searching this topic I mostly found information on business web presence, but I think in a way it applies to normal people as well. One website gave a list of 5 reasons why web presence was important for a business. Reason 5 was credibility. As I explained in my previous paragraph, I think it's important that parents know why you are qualified to be teaching their children and therefore it applies both ways.
