The website that I found that is very useful is ttp://www.schoolexpress.com/
This is a website that offers a variety of resources for teachers to use in there classrooms. This websites has a variety of things such as, worksheets, software programs, online books and other sites that teachers can use. It is helful because if you cant always think of something to do, then you could the website for ideas. Also, if you arent the most creative person, it offers helful tips.

Some of the other websites that my classmates used are very similar to this one. Some of them are more geared toward a certain subject. One of my classmates used a website that even gave ideas for buliten boards, and offered ideas for all grade levels. Sometimes people only offer help for the higher grades, but since I plan on teaching younger kids this stuff doesnt really pertain to me.

I think that the technology that I would like to learn about next would be Excel. We covered this in class, but it has never been something that I am familiar with. Even though we had practice on it, I would like to study it more and get better adjusted to it. This is because I think that this could be especially useful in a classroom. Many teachers use this for grading purposes and I think that by the time I become a teacher everyone will be using this for grading.

I think that one way I will reach my future technology related education goals would be to make sure that technology is greatly integrated into my future teaching plans. I think that it has become so important that not only should I use it to my full advantage, I should make sure that my students understand it and are able to use it for themselves.
