I was not able to access class websites from the school’s
website, so I looked for the class website by itself. Once I did this, I was
able to access various classes from the high school I attended. Most have a
similar color scheme (orange and black for the school colors) and many also
include some picture of a lion (school mascot). About half of the websites
include pictures of students doing an activity the class can be represented by.
The information included a general explanation of the courses, prerequisites if
necessary, and contact information for the school.
I see myself using
and updating a website, blog, or microblog in my classroom. I feel like these
are all really great resources for students and parents. With this, keeping
reminders for my students and myself become for efficient and hopefully more
effective. I also will definitely take
advantage of recording and lesson planning programs. When lessons are made into
digital files, the following years of teaching will be much less work as far as
planning goes.
For sure I will be taking advantage of the technology of the
smart boards. These are amazing, especially for classes that need to get up and
move once and awhile. Being able to solve problems on the page, and having the
advantage of being able to incorporate movements and activities into the lesson
is so great for visual and kinesthetic learners. Not only can the board connect
to your computer, you are able to save pages of work done on the board which is
perfect for students to review. I think that any subject, any grade, and any
teaching style have options for being able to use smart boards effectively.
