Blog 6

In our next assignment, we were asked to research teacher websites and what they all include. Each website only had a a few tabs with a limited amount of information included that is available to the public. The teacher websites all had a home page, an about me page, a newsletter page, a general information page, and a resources page. The websites that I looked at are from the school FSUS that I completed observations at last semester. I attached a link and picture to the Kindergarten class that I was involved with.

I envision myself using technology to the best of my ability to educate my students. I am looking forward to using tools such as smart boards in class and even 3D printers to create objects for my kinesthetic learners. In addition to me using this technology as a teaching tool, I want my students to be able to know how to use the technology and enjoy their time in class with hands on experiences.

Last week we visited the tech sandbox and discovered technology that could be used in the classroom. I think that the item that stood out the most to me was the 3D printer. I have seen 3D printers being used before for classes such as engineering or art but I never thought that it could be used for kindergarten classes. I could use this printer to make puzzles for the students, and teach them about animals and the alphabet by providing them a tangible object to backup the concept.
