Blog Journal #7

     I decided to search for second grade websites since I want to be a second grade teacher. On my search, I found many different things. Publicly, I was able to see the teacher's emails and most of their phone numbers. I was able to see newsletters, class schedules, and some teachers even had things like Twitter accounts. Each website was different in their own way but pretty much had the same general information. https://www.dist126.org/~AKiely@dist126.org/mrs-kielys-2nd-grade-class 

    I envision myself using technology to accomplish my professional responsibilities more efficiently and effectively by using things like Google Calendar to stay organized and having a website for the parents and students to access. Things like tests, events, and field trips can be posted for all of the parents and students to see so that way everything is clearly marked and there is no confusion. By having a website for the students and parents to access, things like my contact information and monthly newsletters can be posted so that way everything can be found in one place and makes it convenient for everyone. This way everything can be organized and can be used a common ground for parents to have everything they need in a single spot. 

    In the web design assignment, I learned how to make a Google Calendar , Pinterest board, and a website. I do not really use Google Calendar so this was a new skill for me. I use Pinterest but have never made a board before so this was also a new skill I had to learn. I liked pretending I was a teacher and getting to write about myself and pick fun activities to plan for the announcements section of the website. I disliked using Weebly. In my future career, I can use what I learned to make an actual website when I become a teacher and make a Google Calendar to have everything posted in the same place.
