As a teacher, I will use surveys to help my students and their families.  For example, I could use a survey to learn the reading interests of my students.  I could use surveys to get feedback from my students and their parents about their experience in my classroom.  Surveys can also be used to teach students lessons.  For example, I could use a survey to teach students about voting in America.

Topics that I found most interesting when viewing my classmates' blogs were that we shared some of the same areas that we thought we could improve upon.  For example, some of my classmates were inexperienced with inserting hyperlinks in PowerPoint as I was.  I also learned that technology makes sharing among educators easier and presenting lessons for students easier.  I would like to share among other educators so that students in my classroom get good learning experiences.

A technology related skill that I would like to learn next is how to insert my own video content into PowerPoint Presentation.   I learned how to record my voice in PowerPoint and voice thread.  I would also like to learn how to use the pens for presentations and help me to make that easier as I have to complete more PowerPoint presentations.

I visited the Canopy Oaks website.   The school serves grades Pre-Kindergarten through 5 th 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.     https://www.leonschools.net/Page/2610 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 i...
