Websites

I really liked learning about the different websites that I can use in the classroom. I really think that they will come in handy when I start to teach. I really like the website unitedstreaming.com. I liked how they had videos to go along with the lessons. It will be nice to teach a lesson and then be able to show a video to my class to go along with it. I can also have students to look on the website to see if they can find videos that interests them. I especially liked how they had The Magic School Bus episodes on the sight.

Inspiration

I really liked inspiration. There is so much that you can do with it. It is a lot better than word with making diagrams. I would use this to make worksheets for the children to review things that they have learned and to review books that they have read. I am really glad I learned how to use it because I needed it to do my science concept map.

Microsoft word

I liked learning about the different charts that I can use in word. I think that it will really help in making worksheets and lessons for teaching. I make a blank chart and have the students fill it in with things that they have learned and then go over it as a class and see the the different charts that they came up with.

Blogs in Education

A blog is an electronic journal that anybody can use. It can either be private or public depending the the author's choice.

Blogs can be used in the classroom for the teacher to write what homework students have for the night. Students would be able to look at it and see what homework they need to do, especially ones that missed school that day. Teachers can also use it to see what students think about a certain subject that they are going to be learning about and to see what they already now about a topic.
