Using UEN in the Classroom

Today in class we learned about all the resources that the UEN website can offer. One of my favorite features was the tool to help make lesson plans. It was really convenient that it provided that standards and objectives for you, along with sample lesson plans. As a teacher, where so much time is dedicated to planning lessons, this will be one of the most useful resources out there! I am really excited to become more familiar with the website and use it to my advantage.

Blogging In The Classroom

I think that blogging in the classroom is a great idea. I think as a teacher I would use blogging as another way to incorporate writing. And with blogging being on the computer, you are implementing computer skills and writing skills at the same time. I think that writing is one of the most important subjects in school, and to incorporate writing in a different way would definitely get the students more excited about it.

Another possible way that I would blogging would be to post ideas that I have used in my classroom, that have turned out successful. I could also get ideas from other teacher's blogs. The internet is a great place, and can be a great place for learning for teachers and students.
