Class Website

I created a demo class website for my final project. It is located at the following address:

http://sites.google.com/site/pollistershealth2010/

This was very insightful. I was used google sites for my website. It was very user-friendly. I am still getting used to it. The teacher template was a very helpful. It provided me with a lot of ideas, since I'm not an extremely creative person. I wish it was a little more drag and/or cut and paste friendly. As a beginner, the editing template needed to be followed exactly.

Some of the programs in my site were: surveymonkey, googledocs, viddler, google maps, google calendar, and iphoto. My two favorite programs that I think will be very helpful in a classroom setting is surveymonkey and googleDocs. Both programs are extremely easy and it will be very useful. Both programs were actually fun to use and create documents.

Online Resources for Teaching

I discovered this website:

http://www.techtrain.org/teacher_tools.htm

It has a lot of free resources that may be beneficial to learn and use as a teacher. I may also find out more about blackboard and/or decide whether I should use my own website or blackboard.
