A web-bases resource I like using is Google Images. Pictures are a clear way to display words and it is often easier for certain students to understand. Google Images have a wide variety of images available for a countless number of topics. Also, Google Images is easily accessable to anyone who has basic internet connection. I usually don't have a problem finding exactly the image I am looking for.
Google.com/images is the site I use to pull of the images from Google Images. It is good to be used when teaching because I can use it for many subjects. Google Images has numbers for teaching math, books, ect. for teaching reading, animals and scientific pictures for teaching science. Also, a description and a website is offered with most of the images generated.
I think I will use Excel and programs like it to manage grade books and budget sheets. Grading first graders work would be much better organized in a program like Excel. An online program is not needed because most first graders do not need to keep up with their grades at home, but when they ask the teacher the teacher needs to know everything. Grading could be kept for all subject areas that I might teach the first graders.
The plan for the final project is introducing computers with software programs on the computers brought into the 4th and 5th grade classrooms. This way, teachers can break students up into groups that rotate different stations. One of the stations could be the computers which will be equipped with interactive programs that offer another way of learning for students. Programs that actively involve the students in solving math dilemnas. Programs that students can enter a practice essay and get an immediate grade. Challenges that were encountered were with the money and deciding what classrooms should get the computers and how many in each.
