UEN Resources

I love hearing about all of these wonderful resources that are available to us! For right now, it will be very helpful to use this site so I can plan lessons that involve videos, invite guest speakers through wimba classroom, view the curriculum, and use other technology enhancements that will help my students understand concepts. They'll see how the knowledge is applicable in their lives and be more motivated to learn. Eventually, when I become a teacher, I'll be able to use these lesson plans and continue to create additional lessons involving technology enhancements. Using this technology will be helpful because it speaks to students in their language.

Blogs in the Classroom

I'm so anxious and excited to learn more about using technology in the classroom. I believe it will really help me connect with my students as technology is often their "language" these days. I think that using blogs can be a great help in educational settings. For instance, I'd like to have each student blog about what they've learned that week, what activities they enjoyed/found beneficial, etc. It's extremely important that students have the opportunity to reflect on what they're learning and blogs provide a wonderful way to do that. Blogs could also be a great way to promote unity within the classroom. I'd encourage them to talk about how we can make our classroom environment more positive and uplifting. I'm excited to continue learning about the many ways blogs could help my students learn.
