Journal #6

• The website I found belongs to Miss. Wieneke and she is a first grade teacher at Grove Avenue Elementary School. Her website was very easy to navigate, but I was not a fan of the aesthetic of her page. I felt like it was very minimal and it was not too coherent with theme. She had information on such as calandras, tech resources, school projects, materials, her website provides a lot of information.  I plan on using this as a guide to see what to include on my website. https://sites.google.com/site/misswienekesteacherwebsite/about
• I plan on using technology to advance my students in the classroom setting and connect with the parents. Technology is such a useful tool and I would like to use it to the best of my capabilities. As I have talked about it in many journals and have based assignments on it, I will use class dojo with my students. I will also start using the application that shows how loud the class is. I think that will encourage them to be a little bit more quiet. I believe that anything that is visual will help students improve their behavior or encourage them to participate more. 
• I really liked the smart boards. When I was in elementary school, we had a simpler version and I remember how versatile the board was. Now, the white board has a lot more features and I feel like it will create a more engaging environment in my classroom. I can have the students write on the board, I can display interactive behavior charts.
