Blog Journal Number 7
I viewed Fairview Elementary School's website and they had a list on all of their teachers on their teacher page. After looking a few different teacher's pages, I have found that the each teacher wrote a short paragraph about their background and years of teaching. They also listed different resources related to the grades that they teach for the parents and students to look at. For example, in the picture below it shows Miss Amanda Stief's teacher page. She included a paragraph of her teaching history, contact information, and then resources for each of the subjects she teaches with assignments and announcements.
As a teacher I plan to implement different uses of technology in my classroom to accomplish my own professional responsibilities. I plan to use sites like Canvas, Canva, and Blogger to keep it simple to not overwhelm my young elementary school students. I think Canvas is an easy site to use to make connections with your students and to keep organized with assignments and grading. Canva is a great space for me to create newsletters and banners, and for my students to explore their own creative mind. As for Blogger, I think this site is a great space for students to share their thoughts and ideas with other classmates. I could also use blogger for typing lessons and assignments for my students as well. Overall, there are many different sites that I plan to use to help myself, but also my students.
Personally, I did not like the Wiki platform, but it still got the job done. I thought it was cool how as a group we were able to collaborate without having to be together, but I did not like how it would lock whenever someone would edit. This made it kind of difficult to get the job done on your own timing. I personally felt that the platform could use some updating, as the graphics and edits seemed outdated and the platform was very slow. Although I wasn't a big fan of the Wiki platform, I think it was a great way to complete a group project. I probably wouldn't use this platform in my own classroom, but if I were to implement it I would use it to complete group assignments as well.
