Post #9

The website I found is called teacher tools and is made by teachers for teachers. It is going through some updating but I really liked what I saw so far. The links include: current news, awards/webrings, message center, submit your stuff!, bulletin boards, curriculum sites, games and puzzles, forms and letters, freebies, lesson plans, software and substitutes. I think that this would be a great tool for any teacher. The website is http://www.teachertools.org/index.html.
Personally I would use the lesson plan link as well as the curriculum and games and puzzles links. These are all very important links to use when teaching and I appreciate that there are websites created by other teachers to make the whole process easier. Teaching is a very noble profession and any way to make it easier is appreciated. I would really like to learn power-point and all of the ins and outs of the program.
I think it would benefit any teacher because it can be used as a teaching tool. You can teach students literally anything and any subject. You can teach mathematics or English or history or science. I can reach my educational goals by practicing using these skills now. The projects I am required to do for this class as well as a few others help me to really learn and understand these programs. I think that the more one is able to practice a skill the easier it is to use the skill. I plan to learn this program and use it to teach my students in a fun way that I know they would learn the information.
