Week 3

The tools learned in class will help me immensely in my future career as a teacher. Through using Google Sites I am able to post a variety of classroom information. I will be able to communicate to my students by posting reminders, homework assignments, and congratulate specific overacheiving students.

Through the Google Calendar I will be able to plan ahead and better prepare the parents of my students. They will feel involved in my class and know they are always welcome. I would like to post invitations for parents to come to class and share their knowledge and special experiences. I want the parents of my students to feel greatly involved and know how much I care for the success of their children.

I would also like to use the Google Calendar as a way to communicate with my colleagues. Through the calendar we will be able to work together. We will be able to better collaborate and become better teachers.

The applications we have learned will really help me stay focused and organized as a future teacher.

I absolutely loved this weeks video. This generation of students throughout the world are driven by technology, so why not use this interest as way of intriging our students? Why not make teaching more effective? This is something that teachers will soon have to incorporate into their teaching methods in order to keep their students interested and involved. Teaching techniques must keep up with todays students.
