Blog Journal #6

     I went onto Julington Creek Elementary School's website and found many helpful links and tools that I would need if I were a parent of a child at the school or even looking at sending my kids there. The public information I found on the site included the lunch schedule and prices, the dress code, the newsletter, important links to events, a school calendar, and much more. This would be a helpful tool for parents who have small questions that need to be answered instead of calling and asking the school. If you cannot find what you are looking for then there is the contact information provided to be able to contact the school. https://www-jce.stjohns.k12.fl.us/parents/

     In the classroom I envision myself using technology very often. It not only will make my classroom run smoother, but it will also benefit me and my students. I plan on using Microsoft Office, Classroom Dojo, and whatever my school can provide me with (hopefully a smartboard). I plan on utilizing any technology I can get my hands on as I know it will make teaching more interactive and fun for my students. Since I plan on teaching special education, I know intergrading technology will be vital in my classroom as some of my students may only communicate through typing or another form of communication. 

     In the Technology Sandbox I saw many tools I could use in the classroom. I really liked the big interactive screen that can be adjusted for height that can be used for many outlets and subjects. It is a very versatile and fun way for students to learn without really realizing it. I also liked the virtual reality headset as it could be used for a multitude of things such as visiting the dinosaurs or space for certain science units.
