Learning Resources--They're Grrrrrrrreat!

After exploring a bunch of the resources that we discussed in class and those that are posted on the class wiki, I came to realize just how useful a lot of them will be. One that I am really excited to use in order to further my own learning is Diigo. I believe that it will really help me to keep track of important and/or useful information that I find on the internet. It can also help me remember thoughts or original ideas that I may have while perusing certain websites. This will help me to keep better track of other online resources that I find and stay organized. Another organizational tool that I plan on using is Google Calendar. I didn't even realize how useful it could be. It will be really helpful for me to keep track of school assignments when I am teaching, as well as appointments and other obligations that I have. I also really love Dafont, which will be a really great resource when I assign class projects or am making presentation materials myself. The fonts available on that website can add the fun, interesting touch to my classroom posters and presentations that can help students stay in tune. I also really like the idea of having a class blog, which can be used to help keep parents up to date on assignments, activities and other opportunities for their children. This can also help me keep track of assignment s and other class materials. Finally, I really like all of the media wed sites. Because I am going to be a history teacher, audio, visual and movie resources can play a very important role in my classroom. These web sites will provide me with options and help me to develop a more interactive and engaging classroom.
