The YETC

I really enjoyed going to the YETC. I learned so many new things that I didn't even know existed before. I am so excited that as teachers we have so many things available to us, that we can use for free in our classrooms.

One thing that I am particularly excited for is the world encyclopedia that is online. I thought that was so neat! You could be teaching history in your classroom and then the students could actually see it. I think that is so fascinating. Another thing that I was really interested in were the podcasts. I have always seen those on itunes, but I have never looked at them or known what they were. Since going to the YETC, I have looked around in them and have found some really neat ones.

I think the YETC is a fabulous resource that we have on campus. We are so lucky that we have something like this, that we are able to use just because we are students here. I will in the YETC a lot during my time here at Utah State. Thanks for taking us there!

UEN, yay!

I have really enjoyed exploring the uen website, I am so excited about it! I think that there are a lot of awesome resources on there for teachers. As a future teacher, I find it very helpful to have the curriculm on the site and many lesson plans that fit perfectly with it. I know that there is a pressure for teachers to stick their lesson plans very close to the curriculm, the way the website is set up, it makes it very easy to do that. I am grateful to all of the talented teachers who have added their lesson plans to the website, they are so kind to share with everyone!

For my lesson plan, I have narrowed it down to either 6th grade social studies or 4th grade science. There are so many wonderful lessons to choose from!

Reflections from Sept. 5th class...

What can I say, I am very excited to learn how to integrate technology into my future classroom. I think that it is important that students learn about technology and how to use it. Technology creates so many opportunities for students and also teachers.

By having teachers use blogs in their classroom they can share classroom teaching ideas, and lesson plans. When I am a teacher, I could create a blog so that I can let parents what is going on in my classroom and share lesson plans with other teachers. Also by having a blog, it will be a good way to save all of my memories of teaching.

As a future teacher I want to be up to date with all of the current technology. I am excited to learn new things to make teaching a little bit easier!
