Using the Florida State University Schools' website, I found multiple teachers' websites that range from middle school to high school teachers. One website I found was Mrs. Olgar, who is a 6th grade World Geography teacher. She teaches many different types of classes like regular World Geography, advanced World Geography, and African American History. She has her syllabus on her and a calendar for all of her students. She also has a page for each class she teaches and on those pages there are links to the presentations in class and resources the students can use to help them in class.
When I start my teaching career, I will create my own website for the parents to use to be able to participate in and out of the classroom. Since I will be teaching elementary school, I will not have that many online assignments that the children will have to do outside of class. So the website will be used mainly for connecting the parents to their children's' learning. Posting a google calendar will keep the parents involved in what their students are doing and will promote parent volunteering.
I really enjoyed the Technology Sandbox tour; it made me realize how advanced technology is getting within the classroom. One piece of technology that I want to use in my future classroom is definitely the SmartBoard because it acts like a whiteboard but you and the students can be interactive with the different programs the SmartBoard offers. For example, with the SmartBoard you can download a certain program that you can see and move around an 3D image like a heart or any organ. So using the SmartBoard, in a science classroom would be helpful because you are able to see things that you normally can't see. I didn't take any pictures in the Technology Sandbox, but I will definitely visit sometime soon!
