Web Design

I found this lesson on web design the most helpful out of all of them and I can see myself using this in my own classroom. Being able to design a classroom website is very useful especially now that society is becoming more technological, especially young children. Constructing a classroom website is a great way to get both students and parents involved in their education. A website would be a good place to put up the homework schedule for both parents and students, homework help, the schedule of what they will be learning, etc. It's a great resource for both students and parents.

iPods

Technology is now part of everyday life and we are surrounded by children who are in elementary and are already using computers, have ipods, and cellular phones. As teachers we need to make sure we are staying up on top of all of the new technologies that our students are using and using it in our classroom. Apps are becoming so popular and finding and using one that would fit a lesson would be a good way to get students involved.
