Blog Journal #6

None of my teachers at my previous schools had websites, and I had a lot of trouble finding ones that were pertinent to my planned career path as a history teacher. However I did find one, Mr.R's Classroom. His website includes overviews of the class, different sections of their lectures, class syllabi, and grading breakdown. I think his website is nicely set up, it doesn't make my eyes hurt to view. It is from Baldwin High School and is for 9th and 10th grade. 

I'll probably have my own classroom website, because I love being organized and the less paper we use the better! I can't say for certain what types or amounts of technology I'll be able to use in my classroom, because I would prefer to work in a rural area and those areas are usually less funded and have less access to the types of technologies that more affluent schools would. 

The VR devices in the Tech Sandbox were so cool! They were also the one technology I could clearly see myself using in my classroom if I were given the opportunity. It would be a really cool way to let students experience areas of major historical significance, like the Colosseum or Tower of London. I'm sure there are programs that someone has/ or will made that will also enable people to do walkthroughs of major historical events/ places that are no longer accessible, such as the Titanic.
