The most interesting topic I found from other students blogs was the website's they found for future use. They seem to be helpful and it is great to look at someone else's perspective on what could be helpful in the classroom.
The next skill I would like to learn that is technology related would be one that would benefit me in the classroom. Whether it be a computer game that helps students with reading or an interactive science website I want to know about the materials out there to help my students in every way possible.
The ways I can acheive my future technology-related goals are by continuing my education and keeping myself informed on new technology through the news and my other colleauges. I hope that technology continues to be a positive way for children to learn so they can one day incorporate it into their every day life.

A useful website I would use as an educator is the scholastic teacher website. The link is http://www2.scholastic.com/browse/teach.jsp. This site looks very useful if you are looking for more lesson plans or tools to help you teach. There are tabs for different grades and then it is broken down by subject. There is also a featured book that you might like to read or buy for your class.
There is also a rubric maker, calendar, seating chart and many more useful tools for the classroom. You can also sign up to receive a monthly newsletter about teaching for you specific grade. This site would be extremely useful and I will definetly use it in the future.
