Teacher Webpage

Making a teacher’s web-site is a great way to get all your students and parents involved in your classroom. Having a web-site you will be able to keep everything updated with your daily, weekly and monthly activities. Web-sites can contain homework, mission statement, and even pictures. Having this web-site done in the summer, will allow the parents to see what their children are going to be learning in your class. You can also provide other links for the parents and students to look at. Providing contact information on the internet will give them a quick way to find the information in case it is missing. Teacher web-sites work with both the parents and students.

Lesson Plans

I always thought finding lesson plans with technology in it would be hard because everything is always integrated with all other subjects. Once I googled it, I was completely surprised on what I found on the Internet. There is so much for students to do on and off the computer but still counts as technology. One lesson plan that I enjoyed was a digital story, where the students took pictures and then wrote a story using the digital pictures. If you wanted the students to use the Internet, there are so many websites that students can use to learn so many different things. They have virtual tours, educational games and even quizzes that can be submitted to the teacher. Seeing all the numerous lesson plans that use technology has made me fill more comfortable at using technology in the classroom.
