Assigments related to Teaching

I am very excited that you are having us do computer assignments in class as if we were already teachers doing stuff for the students in our class. I was very excited to have an assignment for google sites; i think it is a great resource to use in my classroom and i thought it was fun to create for our ten dreams assignment. It will be a bulky assignment but i can find relevance to use it in my classroom as something my students can use to be informed about what is going on in our classroom as far as assignments, announcements, a calendar of class events and what we will be doing in class each day.

One function that we need create in google sites that i am looking forward to creating is the student of the week and why they were chosen; it's a way for me to recognise and reward good behavior in my students and encourage good behavior from all my other students and create a happy classroom atmosphere for me and my students to learn in.

Another thing i find relevance to is the flyer assignment; using them for things in our classroom. Since i will be teaching kindergarten as my grade focus i chose to do a flyer on a trip to the zoo. I am having fun learning new functions on the computer in word while i create this fun flyer for my students and parents.

I am also excited that you are teaching us things we need to learn for our classroom and then having us collaborate with other 'co-teachers' in the class and learning from each other. I just wish that i would've been one of the students you taught about google calendar because both my teachers either didn't understand what to do or they were teaching someone next to me and not paying attention to me. But it is a good opportunity for us to learn how to teach computer programs to use in our classroom and help us to remember them better.
