Using Learning Tools From the Web

As a future teacher, I love getting new educational ideas to use in the classroom. I am very excited about what the web has to offer teachers. I found a new site called, "Enchanted Learning". http://www.enchantedlearning.com/Home.html. This site provides worksheets, crafts, and much more. It provides 25,000 websites and 20,000 pages of learning tools. Membership is $20.00 per year. There are free pages, but purchasing the membership gives a larger amount of resources to use in the classroom.

Powerpoint in the Classroom

I am looking forward to following the blogs from our class! Learning new ideas about technology in the classroom will benefit me as I began to prepare for my own classroom.

Technology in the classroom is very important to teachers and students. Giving students the tools they need to succeed in their education and in life begins in a classroom. Powerpoint is something I would like to include into student learning. Providing a powerpoint for a project can give students step by step instructions to follow. Students who are visual learners will benefit from the visuals in a powerpoint.

Here is a link I found to help teachers start a collection of powerpoint templates:
