Google Earth Tech Article

Google Earth: I choose to do an Tech tool article on Google Earth. This is an amazing school... Just to the world at the students finger tips to explore is a wonderful lesson all in it's self. I enjoy playing on Google Earth and finding my house. I can't even imagine how much fun third graders would have if they were able to find there house on the internet and actually see the world. This tool would be so useful if I were teaching a lesson about Africa I could actually take them there!!! To be able to show the students actual pictures and images of the world, where they live would be an amazing experience for them and also myself. I continue to learn every time I play with it. This could also be beneficial if I wanted the students to draw a picture of how they think a place in the world looks and then I could actually take them there with Google Earth. It would be very fulfilling.

Blogger Tech articles

Blogger:
Blogger will be sooo helpful in my classroom. Well not so much “in” my classroom but if I set up a blog for just my class, I will be able to update it daily to let the parents what is going on in my classroom. I will be able to post homework that may be due the next day. And also I will be able to tell all that we are doing in class. It will be so convenient for the parents to go online and see what is new with their students and what they are learning. Blogger is so convenient and easy to use. Changing the colors and background is as easy as clicking and changing the appearance. Posting blogs is also very easy!
Altogether blogger will be very useful and I can’t wait till I can have my own classroom and a blogger site that will help me keep my students parents posted about what is going on in my classroom.

Finishing Final Projects

This past week I worked on finishing my final projects to go in my UEN site. I was able to finish most of my google site I just need to finsh my google calendar for my google site and then also I need to finish my brochure.
This project has been very useful I was able to teach myself how to use different programs on my computer such as publisher. Publisher is an AMAZING TOOL!!! I highly suggest it to everyone who needs to make some sort of document that can easily be laid out. While using publisher making all sorts of documents such as resumes, newsletters, flyers, and countless other documents.
Also while I was working on my google site I have learned many things in there as well. I learned how to add pages and also how to edit my pages. I am working on making the site look better by enhancing the colors of my site and also text on my site.
I look forward to having these assignments done, but all in all they have been helpful, and sometimes fun. :) It was fun to make up the information as if I were a real teacher and going to have a real event happening in my class. I CAN'T WAIT!!!
