6 - Web, Tech, Wiki

Below I have attached 2 screen shots of teacher’s classroom websites from Braden River High School in Bradenton, Florida. The first website is for a tenth grade geometry class. This classroom page can be viewed by anyone online, therefore it holds information for both parents and students. The screenshot, though, is of a classroom calendar. It has a title for each day, explaining what lesson will be covered, along with homework assignments and quiz/test dates. The second screenshot is for a dual enrollment eleventh grade American history class. This screenshot is also available for anyone to view and it is also for both parents and students to use. It is of a calendar as well, but it is set up differently. This calendar is a little more in depth and is more elaborate. More details are included about the lesson of the day.

I envision myself using technology to accomplish professional responsibilities more efficiently and effectively by using software such as apps.  By using apps on iPads and computers in my classroom I will be able to, “provide grade feedback and mobile academic assistance to students during instructional time” (pg. 147).

I learned quite a lot from the Wiki assignment. At first it seemed very complicated, but as my group and I worked together it became much easier. I liked that we got to pick our own standard based on what we want to teach in the future. I also like the whole project overall because I think that it will be very useful in my teaching career. I know that making a website Wiki will be something I do for each class so that I can make sure that my student’s know what to work on, when it is due, etc.

The whole form did not fit, but this is part of it!
