Blog Post 6!!

The school website that I’m using is actually my AP Biology teachers website from my high school (H.B. Plant HS grades 10-12). The teacher, Mr. Tait, updated the website every day. He would record his lectures in class and upload them for students to view if they missed class that day or needed to rewatch for further clarification. He also uploaded materials needed for class scubas study guides for upcoming tests and instructions for labs and homework. This was a great asset to me in this class. It has also been very handy in college for my biology class because all of his lectures are still available and relevant in my current class. http://plantlectures.com/taitr/

There are many different technologies that will help me succeed in my teaching career. I will definitely be using grading technologies. I will be utilizing a teacher website. After seeing the great effects it had on me when I was in school, I think it will give my students all the extra tools they need will need to do great in school. 

Although I had some digital whiteboards in my school, teachers rarely used them the way they are supposed to be used (mainly as a projector). This is why the whiteboards especially interested me. There are so many more features than I knew that could really take my classroom and teaching to the next level. I thought the ability to play games on them were very cool. My favorite part of the smart board was the 3D feature when looking at certain things, like the inside of the fish they showed us. This could really peak students interests because it is something so different and not normally used in classrooms.
