Website I Created for My Future Classroom

Hello! I just wanted to share with everyone the template I created for the website I am going to be using for my future classroom. I used a Google site which is free and very easy to use because the basic template is already created for you. If you want to see a great resource that could be used in your classroom click here.

Free and Accessible Technology

I am sitting at work right now and working on my blog. I think that right there is enough to make a post about. I am on my new smart phone (Droid2). It was very easy for me to access the CEP wiki as well as the blogger site. While I was sitting here trying to think of a topic to post about I realized it was right in my hands.
I find it very ammusing that I can do this from my phone so effeciently. It led me to think about my future as a teacher. I think that the free technology tools I have learned about in and out of classes are some of the best tools a teacher can use.
These tools are great for students, teachers, and parents alike. Not only are they free but they are also incredibly accessile... Even from a mobile phone. It is important to keep tools like this in mind for students/schools that may have lower socio-economic backgrounds. Many students, parents, and teachers have mobile phones even if they do not have access to a computer all of the time.
