Week 5

When I started my page on UEN I liked the idea of having a place to find information for my class. It is really helpful to have a "home base" for my resources. With having the curriculum at my finger tips is very nice. I can just get onto my page and link right to the information. I knew that UEN held all that I needed, but I never took the time before to venture through it. Along with having the curriculum available I also have access to vast amount of resources for teaching.

I really liked the Pioneer Library link. It has so much information and information that is legitimate. I can find information on sites like google, but there is no guarantee that they are true. It is the same with the numerous search engines on UEN, they provide good information that I would feel comfortable sending my kids to.

I will use this site to give my kids options in information sources. I know they will have this option when doing a project. Along with my students, their parents will be able to look at the things we are learning about. They will have access to that information. I will use this as well to keep track of what I am planning to teach.

Last I want to talk about the ability to look at lesson plans. I have to admit that I am scared to teach, I don't know what to teach. With the lesson plans available I can look at the different options there are to teach a topic. It gives me the hope that I can get use to teaching and find fun creative ways to teach that subject.

Video

I really liked the idea of this video. We need to support children in going to school. They are our future. They will create the world in forty years. It was interesting how he would introduce the topic, but I really liked it. All he said is true, children our the future.
