YETC Resources
Today in INST 4010 we visited the YETC lab and were introduced to various resources we can use in our future classrooms. Someday I would love to teach 2nd grade. Therefore, some of the resources that really impressed me because I could envision myself using them in my classroom were the many websites, such as spellingcity.com, that almost acts as a second teacher by providing spelling tests, reviews, and practice games. I also loved receiving the information about Nathan's newsletter each month on the YETC website that reveals many of these sites that are helpful to teachers. Additionally, I was extremely excited to learn about the site polleverywhere.com, which acts as an "i-clicker" device in the classroom. How wonderful! It's amazing the amount of resources that are available to teachers. It's just a question of whether or not you know how to find it!

I agree. There are so many resources available to teachers and the really hard thing about it is finding out what they are. I believe that there are so many resources that many of them get overlooked. That's what makes me excited about Nathan's newsletter. He'll point out all kinds of references that are valid, useful and reliable.
ReplyDeletedefinitely finding resources can be a challenge, but once you get your teaching job, you can turn to your tech coordinator or your librarian for help finding resources also. And I think you can still get nathan's newsletter.
