What I Would Change

My classroom could certainly use more computers as it is difficult to teach "technology" with one laptop and two old PCs from home. I definitely plan on beefing up my lessons with better Power Point presentations by adding more elements. My students already use Face Book and You Tube at home but would benefit from using Google Docs. Face Book and You Tube are censored by GDOE and I am glad because I worry about the appropriateness of much of what they are exposed to on those sites. I have even had some uncomfortable moments and unexpected search results with students using the internet in the classroom. And teachers are always searching for new ideas, better lesson plans and lessons so networking with other teachers will certainly be productive. So I plan to spend a bit of this weekend on the Classroom 2.0 site and Teacher Tube.
