In the future, I plan on being an elementary school teacher. As technology becomes an increasing part of society, I think it will be a big part in teaching as well. There are many tools and resources available the can enhance teaching students. I think that one particularly valuable resource I might use in the future is the one I'm using now. Blogger is a great resource. It is a reliable tool that can allow me to post links to useful sites. It also can help me post assignments and important dates. It can help keep my class and students' parents updated.
What's awesome about it is that it's accessible to everyone, not just Blogger users, so kids can see it and not have to be a user. It's also great because it's highly accessible from any Internet connection. What's really great is that the student or parent wont have to be in class, they can be at home to see what's due and the like.
As a teacher, I will use Excell in different ways. First and foremost, I will use it as a grade book. It's such an easy to use, useful tool that would make a great and functional grade book. I could also use it as a template for keeping log of student achievements (stars and such). This is particularly useful for elementary students, like around 4Th grade, who love encouragement.
