UD EDU 352 Technology in Education

I chose this website because it gives great ideas on how to teach w/maps. This is key for social studies, you often have to refer to maps, and I would use this tool in the classroom to be sure I am being effective when teaching with maps.

I chose this website because as I scrolled through the list of 100 topics I found many that were interesting, with links to more info. I would use this site to use the tips for how to choose good topics and how to write effective essays.

I chose this website because it offered great tips on how to keep HS students engaged in math assignments. I would use these tips, like relating math to real world situations and giving them choices (working in groups or on their own) to keep them engaged, if I taught math.

This is another site that gives classroom management strategies. This one includes games, reward systems, and more for managing the classroom.

I chose this website for ideas and activities around language arts. This has some good ideas for activities that are interactive. I would use these tools in the classroom to have more up to date technology, for example it talks about the user of podcasts. This is a great idea to get interactive technology around language arts activities.

Teacher vision gives lots of classroom management strategies. It is another site that will be very useful to me when I am a first year teacher.

On this site, images, documents, powerpoint, and more can be added so that students can have discussions about the sources. Anyone who wants to access the discussion has to be invited so it is very secure.

I chose this resource because it offers project ideas, discussion guides, book fairs, book clubs, as well as a teacher store. I would use this resource as a place to get materials that I need for in my classroom as well as a resource for books for students and myself.

Lesson Plans/Teacher Sharing: I chose this website because it is free and easily accessible; I liked the visuals it included and that they included books that could be used to help teach the lesson. I could use this in my future to find lessons with books I want to read or to find a book for a certain type of lesson.

Scholastic has free access to lesson and unit plans for teachers. You can put in the grade level and the subject and it will give you access to lots of lesson plan options.

This site is a great way for new teachers to get tips about lesson planning. The site itself gives access to even more links of all different resources for lesson plans.

This is another site involving art. It has lesson plans, and resources. It also gives the history behind art, and images for teachers to use in the lessons.

This website has posters, games, rubrics, and more for teachers to use in a classroom. It is a great way for general education teachers to find sources that can incorporate art into the classroom.

This resource is for teachers to see contributions to music education from supporters. Also, teachers can do professional developments.

This website allows students to explore different musical genres, ask questions, learn to read music, and more.

PE/Healthy: I chose this resource because it gives "hot topics" in PE and health, activities to incorporate physical activity in the classroom, and how to adapt lessons for students with physical disabilities. These activities could be used as "brain breaks" or I could find ways to incorporate these activities into content I am already teaching.

This is another useful tool for educators. It shows the standards for physical education and health in the US and gives lesson plan ideas as well.

I chose this website because it gives resources for books you might use in your classroom and helps the teacher find books in the student's reading level. It is easy to navigate too; the teacher can choose the grade level, subject, and what reading level system you want to use.

Book wizard is another part of scholastic. It allows teachers to search by reading level, to find appropriate books for students.

I chose scholastic as one of my literacy sources because it is both beneficial for the student and teachers. I would love to share this with parents/guardians to give them the option to order books for themselves, so I can earn things for the classroom.

This youtube channel shares lots of "crash course" history videos that are designed to teach students about a topic quickly.

This website has history lessons and helps students with inquiry. It has central questions tied to historic documents on it regarding history for students to respond to.

I would use this website to explore science in my classroom because I know that the videos it provides will be appropriate and useful. I would love to use this site to find videos instead of having to use youtube or another search engine.

National Geographic has lots of resources for the classroom. You can search for resources, activities, articles, and more at any grade level or subject. I would use this website to show my students how to do research.
