1. I really like the idea of bulletin boards. I know as a teacher it will be hard to figure out what to put up on the walls so this can defaintly help out.
2. The Collaboration projects was really interesting because it shows you have you and other teachers can work together to do a big project.
3. Under teacher resoucres there is a place to give you writting ideas for the day. I thought that was pretty interesting.

1. They have different themes pages for each month.
2. A bunch of different printables that can be very useful in a classroom.
3. There are even articles on here that show you whats been in the news lately.

#22 Explore Ebooks

This website has so many books on it I couldn't believe it. My mom would love this website because she can read a book in about a day and a half and than she is done with it. This website would be useful to have students read a certain book online for homework. You could assign about five pages per night to read and than you wouldn't have to have all the books in class.

#6 Flickr Fun and Mashups

This is really neat. There is so much out there that you never know until you find it. The jigsaw puzzle is super cool. Also I really liked the photobooth. This website would be really neat for students to go on and have to make their own project about it.

# 7 Blog about technology

I love my computer. It is my best friend at times. When I go on a computer it is really easy for me to look up school things or just search the interent. I don't understand how people lived without computers in the old days. I couldn't image not being able to be on my computer. It makes school work easier and makes life more fun because you have the news in the palms of your hands.

#20 Youtube and Video

Teachrtube was really interesting. There are a lot of different videos to use as a future teacher. I searched for videos about Math. It came up with a lot of different Math lessons to use. I would really use this site in the future.

Why technology is good inside the classroom.

A situation that would be good to have technology inside the classroom is when you want to use computers for a math program. There are many good math programs out there that are amazing on the computer and really useful for students, but you need computer for every student or at least for half the students. If you had it for all the students you could have them go on and you would be able to walk behind them and make sure that everyone is doing what there are supposed to be doing. If you had computers for at least half of the class than you can put half the class on computers and the other class can do a different lesson and than they would switch off. I feel that having technology inside the classroom is such a great way for students to get hands on with computers and other useful things.
