Blog 6

I visited the website of my former third grade teacher, Mrs. Pippins. She is a teacher at Zach White Elementary School in El Paso, Texas. On the home page of her website, she has some information about herself and provides her contact information. She has a link to the school calendar and photo gallery on the side. Also on the side she has a useful link tab, which then takes you to another page with links to study websites. She has another link that you can use to directly contact her; you fill out your information put in your email and she will get it. She also has a link to the third grade school supply list up.
            I will definitely be using classroom management software to help me keep my classroom organized. An online attendance tool will help me ensure that I take attendance and that parents can see if their kids are where they are supposed to be that day. It will also make it easier for me to report attendance to the office because it will already be in my computer. Another great tool is the online grade book. Now I have the ability to put grades in as soon as I am done grading and parents can see them right away. This saves me time from having to print progress reports and individually email grades to parents when they have questions.

            The Promethean Board is a great tool to have in the classroom. It allows you to pull up all your lesson plans on screen for your students to see without you having to do any conversions. It also allows you to keep your lesson plans from previous years so you do not have to constantly keep redoing them. The board also allows students to be interactive while learning. They can come up to the board write the correct answer, or I can set up a learning game for them to play.
