Ethics
Ethics are the rules of conduct recognized in respect to a particular class of human actions or a particular group, culture, etc. As a future teacher, it will be greatly important for me to show good ethics when it comes to grading my students test and the way in which I treat them in and out of the classroom. Also, it is important to teach my students about ethics, so they learn to show honesty when doing their homework or how to act appropriately to their classmates. When it comes to working with colleagues of mine, having good ethics will create a level of trust between me and my co-workers, and will help make our working environment more helpful to students.
I think there are many pros to instilling ethics within students because they can learn to be honest and hold themselves to a higher standard. Unfortunately, some negatives that come with having to high of expectations, as a teacher, when it comes to ethics is students may not always show good ethics all the time, so teacher should not get mad rather, teach them how they should act next time and create a learning opportunity for the student.

Virtual tour
Virtual tour is a simulation of an existing location, usually composed of a sequence of video images. They also may use other multimedia elements such as sound effects, music, narration, and text. In my future classroom, I intend to use virtual tours for upcoming field trips or events the class may be taking part in. Being able to show a class exactly what they will be doing on a field trip is very beneficial to their learning because they will have more of an idea of what they will be learning on a particular field trip, and what to expect when they get there. However, some cons to using virtual tours is they are time consuming to make and there may not already be a virtual tour for an event a I wants to do with my class.
Teacher Web Page
A teacher web page allows teachers to give information about their classroom, communicate with absent students, community, share links and communicate with parents and students. As a future teacher, I plan to create my own web page to inform both parents and students about homework for the week, upcoming events, class projects and evaluate me on my teaching, at the end of every quarter. Being able to have one form of communication where families can find information about my class is a huge benefit and helps connects parents to events going on within their child’s class. Students can also check that their homework is complete and find links to help them with their homework, which is equally beneficial. Unfortunately, teacher web pages do have some negative qualities. If teachers are not careful they can give too much information about their students, which could make parents uncomfortable. Also, communicating with parents only through a website can seem impersonal to parents.
