Technology Reflection

My objective with www.lessonplanspage.com is for teachers and also the student to be able to find fun and educational lesson plans regaurding specific subjects. As I was searching this tool I came across so many fun and interesting things I am so excited to use to better my teaching, and improve my students learning. Some special features for both teachers and students this website offers is effeciant reading, which gives great suggestions for students to be better reader and offers so many different tools to help. It also has a link for Food and Fitness, which is so important for children to understand, and also for teachers to incorporate in their classrooms. Along with all the other special features, this site also has a special feature page full of websites great for educators, students, and even parents to use for all sorts of educational purposes. Not only are there great lesson plans for teachers, but there are also so many pros for students. They can use the math section to practice their math skills, by clicking on the appropriate grade and do worksheets right there online at home. When students are struggling with ideas for Science Fair Projects or how to present it this is a great tool for them, or for the teachers to give suggestions. This site is also great for teacher and other colleauges to share different teaching ideas and suggestions all through this site. This is also a great tool for parents to help work with their children at home with reviews, research, and teaching them the appropriate material. Aside from all the pros, there are some cons concerning the students all in the fact that this tool would probably be most useful for teachers and not for students. Although this is the case students can still benefit cause teachers are using this website to make their lessons more interesting and fun for the students to learn more. There are some things also on the site that need to be signed up for which can be an inconvenience, but can also be very beneficial for teachers, such as Hot Chalk offers some great video footage for teachers and students.
