Blog #6

For this assignment I looked at the St. Clare Schools class pages. Many of the pages were set up the similarly to the one pictured below and contained information that was directed towards parents. The page I selected was for a kindergarten class. Its home page contained all of their upcoming events and homework for quick access. I was also able to see announcements from the teacher, all of the homework assignments given throughout the year, and documents that needed to be filled out by parents. I thought it was very clever to upload permission slips and other important forms under the "documents" tab so parents can easily access another copy incase the original form is misplaced.

As a teacher I believe I will be using many types of technology to accomplish my professional responsibilities efficiently and effectively. I will use things such as word processing programs, electronic spreadsheets, presentation software and much more. These technologies will help me create classroom materials, stay organized, and present information. 

I found the smart board to be the most useful piece of technology we worked with in the technology sandbox. While all of the other tools we got to work with were fun and useful, I think the smart board would be most helpful in a classroom. I feel this way because it was versatile. one piece of technology can be used as a whiteboard, projector, interactive game center and much more. All of these things would be great to have in a classroom!
