Thing #3 The new day and age of technology!!!!!!

When I first started this class I was anti technology in the classroom. I felt that the students should know how to do everything by hand. After sitting in class and seeing all the amazing ways a teacher can incorporate technology in the classroom.
For my classroom I am going to have a NO EXCUSES policy. Meaning that I will provide all the tools possible for my students to succeed in my class.

 First, I will create a blog for students to go on line and post questions that they would want to discuss about the homework. Now honestly I don't know how well this will work because we are college students and we have unlimited access to computers and we really don't do it.
 Second, I will assign my students their homework for  the week. They will be guided during the week on how to complete assignments but if they go home and get stuck on an assignment they would be allowed to on the Internet and watch tutorials on how to complete the assignment.



Now that's what I have come up with so far. I will probably think of some more ways as well!

Thing # 2. Now you want me to click where?!?!?!?!!?

 Ok so now that I have finally gotten my blog up! I can post thing two. I never thought that posting a blog would be so hard. But the sad thing is really that the hardest thing for me was remembering my password. It would take up to thirty minutes for me to remember my password. But now that I have everything up and running I think I would love to have a blog for my classroom. Its not as personal as facebook but still allows you to let parents get to know you more personally with out being all up in yo business! LOL. You can use this to give out extra credit hints on tests, keep parents updated on upcoming events, and also to allow parents to see what the kids are doing in class. This will most definitely be something that I will use in my classrooms! :-)

Another off the subject tidbit!
So when I was in elementary school we had this little hot line thingy we could call where the teacher left a voice recording and it kept parents up to date on events and there were extra credit question etc. It totally sucked my teachers only did it like once right when it came out. If we did it consistently of course I could totally see this blog doing that. But I am noticing the new thing to do is to have a vlog! So hey future teachers we just might be creating vlogs for our classrooms!!
