I have learned of the benefits of using technology in the classroom as a means to enhance the lessons I will be teaching. It is very important that my students use the classroom computers as part of their learning time with me. I intend to bookmark these pages so my students can find them easily. Each site has its own unique attributes including, lesson plans for teachers, parent information and activities for students. The use of these web sites in my future classroom will be a positive use of technology for my students.
