I visited the Canopy Oaks website.  The school serves grades Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade students.  The homepage has a site navigation where you can go directly to teacher websites.  The information that you can see publicly are assignments, homework, the teacher’s bio, and student resources.  There is also a link to a class calendar. 






In the future I can envision myself using technology effectively and efficiently in many ways. I am sure that I will use a smartboard and my students will most likely all have laptops or tablets. Those are just two of the many ways. Technology also helps with collaboration which makes the teaching and learning process easier.  I will use technology to assist with keeping parents up-to-date on their students.


My visit to Tech Sandbox was very interesting and I am glad that I had the experience. I am sure that the smartboards can be used in the classroom. They could often be used for working out math problems and so much more. During my visit I used the 3D drawing printing pens. I would love to see students using this technology in the classroom as well.
