Hoy es martes, es el dia del santo de mi madre. Ella cumple 76 hoy.
Today is my mother's birthday, she is 76 years old today.
Today's work in class has made me think on how far we have come in this world. I remember a classroom with no pencil sharpner and having to sharpen my pencil with a knife in class. My poor teacher would guard her chalk because there was not an abundance of supplies for her and her students. Our classroom had some old desks left over from the 50's. And we would have to go home for lunch every day and then come back to class. There were no long weekends because school was from Monday through Saturday. We were so proud of our notebooks covered with newspaper so they would last throughout the majority of the school year.Our uniforms were worn more than once before my mother would have to hand wash them. I went to school clean every day and I was proud of my teacher and our school.
Today we have so many options in materials to work with. Our technology is far more advanced than anything that I had ever dreamed of as a child.
Two of the technology tools that I am most likely to use in my classroom would be the webpage from Weebly and the games from Excel
How do you plan to use these?
I plan on creating a webpage that will have the daily work from class and videos and homework assignments for my students. I would create a bushiness card with the information so that my students and their parents would have the opportunity to learn how to contact me and keep up with our work in class.
Because I am a foreign language teacher, I feel that games are important for my students to engage in real language practice. I am looking forwards to create games for them and create opportunities for the students to create games for themselves and younger children in their communities.
