Blog Post 6

I visited the webpage of my old high school English teacher. She has a lot of information available online for her students. There's a link to a general rundown of the class. Additionally, she has a page where she records the activities they did in class in order for absent students to be able to keep up with class. There was also a page where she posted all of the papers she would give out in class for those who were absent or lost the paper. A page where her contact information was visibly displayed and where students could sign up for extra tutoring as needed were also present. She teaches high school duel enrollment Composition 1 & 2 to eleventh and twelfth graders.

Link to Website

I envision myself using technology in the future to create a website similar to the one my old teacher had used. Although, I would add more external links to references and possibly incentives (extra resources, possibly extra credit opportunities) on the website in order to encourage student participation.

The Smartboards are the most immediately useful in a classroom. They can make presentations much more interactive and can allow students who learn by doing to join in. They also allow users to record any notes that they take during class time so that those who are absent don't fall behind. They can also record any questions the students had during the presentation so that it can be improved to be more comprehensive or understandable for future use.
