Favorite Internet Teaching Resource Site(s)

This week I have been looking at a lot of different websites to start making my lesson plan. My favorite website has been Busy Teacher.  I recommend this website because it had great resources on the subject I was needing and it was not hard to find at all. One of the things the children in my class were learning was addition and subtraction.

  • Busy teacher provided me with a great thing for a lesson idea. Click here to view it.

That website gave me great ideas and then I needed some tools, games, etc. Well Pinterest had great ideas for cute little games, and hand outs for the students in class to do.
  • Here is the link to 1st grade activities on pinterest, feel free to browse the rest of the website.

Week 4

Procrastination is a big problem, especially in high school. Everyone does it, you may have forgotten to do your time sheets for work or forgotten to do a project and had to rush and only put a little bit of effort into it because it was do the next day. Everyone has had to experience the feeling of procrastination, I know i have. One experience that sticks out to me was in geometry my sophomore year, we had to build a building from a certain city  we needed to turn it in before the week of exams so we could take a picture of our classes city. Well me and my partners only did little bits of the project so the last day we were having to rush to finish it and ended up having one of our partners needing to take it home and finish it or we would not have been able to put up a very good product. To prevent procrastination in this situation and many others is to spread out the work so that way you can do what you need to get done on a certain day, you can put up a good product and not have to rush on the last day you have to work on it.

Week3

This week I have many opportunities to be a leader but the one that stuck out to me is while at my field site I realized that I needed to step up and be more of a leader, so in my classroom i decided that I was going to make more of an effort towards. So in the class I decided that I am going to be helping more during class with things that I know how to do very well, because I could have learned it last year in principles of education and training.
