#6: Teacher Websites

On the Riley Elementary school teacher website, there is six different options in the sidebar to choose from. These options include Welcome, Meet the Teacher, Announcements, Assignments, Important Documents and Class Calendar. The page I visited is for Mr. Anthony Hall, a first grade teacher at Riley Elementary located in Tallahassee, Florida. All of the information was available publicly, but there was also no information on some of the tabs. I think that these websites can be helpful to get to  know teachers, but I also think that they can be kind of tedious to upkeep.

I can definitely see myself using Prezi for presentations in my classrooms. I like Prezi because it allows for more movement and I believe it keeps students more involved and engaged. I also think that I will use Edmoto and apps like  Blackboard that make it easy for me to input and share my students grades with them.

 · Last week, we visited the Technology Sandbox. Write a paragraph about how one or more technology that you experienced could be used in the classroom. Be specific and thorough.
Visiting the Technology Sandbox was so cool! I really like the SmartBoards and I think that this kind of interactive technology would be great in the classroom, specifically for student group projects or wanting to write on a website with information on it. I also really liked the virtual reality could be used to help learn about different environments or habitats. These technologies can also be used to allow students to see different perspectives.
