Blog

This is a site created by a teacher at Newfane Elementary School, dealing with the integration of technology in the classroom. It is a site to help and assist teachers with using technology and computers in their early childhood classroom. It's a basic site offering useful information to teachers- regaurding teacher resources (GREAT sites for teachers to visit to help with lesson planning, classroom management strategies, units, bulletin board ideas, etc.), help creating web pages, good web sites for students to visit to enhance their learning, and multimedia resources (good graphics and such that deal with education). It's basically a one-stop shop for all of what a teacher needs to know about technology. If they are interested in spicing up curriculum, there's organized lists of places that give you what you want. I definitely think that I'd benefit from a site like this as a future teacher, as would a general education teacher. It covers a wide variety of useful topics that are quite relevant to technology in the early childhood classroom. Not only is there "general" professional sites that are recommended, but ones more local created by teachers, schools, and districts.

This sounds like a really helpful resource for teachers when integrated technology into their curriculum. I like that there was more than just guidelines or helpful hints on how to incorporate technology. For example, it's nice that the website gives bulletin board ideas. Did the bulletin board ideas deal just with technology? It would be good for parents to be able to come in and see pictures or examples of what their children have been doing with technology in the classroom. I also like that there are other resources that this website will direct you to. Overall, great website and I look forward to using it!

This site has lots of fun games for the children to play that have to do with many of the things we are going to have to teach (like currency). I liked all of the sources that were provided for teachers, such as lesson plans and ways to build a webpage. I liked how they had many sites that have multimedia available. This site provides many links that will definately come in handy when I become a teacher!
