This week in ICT there were several notable points to build off of. I have finally completed my website. Though I have a fairly broad outline on the site so far, I am planning on putting much more material on to the site. Most of the material will be emphasized when I am done my student teaching placements, and when I start my teaching career. I put some videos on their to catch their attention, as well as other links that parents and students can look into. I put some information about myself so that they can get a good vibe of what kind of person I am. I figure this would be important for the parents especially. Also, I decided to include a button on homework assignments. This way the students are well aware of their assignments, and they also can not lie to their parents about not having any homework! I thought an inspiration page would be good to have as well so the people who visit my site can see that I am happy to be a teacher, and what people drove me to want to be the best that I can be. So far, the kickstart of my website is pretty good. As more information comes in it will get even better. I figure as soon as more information and ideas flow, then I can start using the software Symbaloo.
Another neat aspect to our class this weak was what we learned today. I found out that there will be smart boards in one of the classes I will be teaching in. The smart board is going to open up many doors to let the creative side of the students flow. I will definitely be getting the students to participate by drawing and writing on the boards. It would work perfectly by creating a centre topic, such as social studies that I will be teaching, and let the students build a web off of the main topic. They can tell me everything they know.
One more week an student teaching begins! Should be a great experience!
