•  I decided to look on a teacher page for Valley View elementary school. I did so because this is the elementary school that I attended when I was in elementary school. Within this website they included a mission statement and many pictures of students. They have news and events, dates for school breaks. There is a mini letter to the teachers and videos about the school. They have links that go to all of the different departments in the school. Lastly, they have student highlights.

• I envision myself using technology to accomplish my professional responsibilities more efficiently and effectively in many different ways. To start, I will only use the technology that I am very comfortable with and I know I can use to benefit my classroom. I will use the smart board, most likely every day, to teach lessons. I will use Microsoft word as well for all of my lessons. I will now use diigo to be able to go back to websites that I thought were useful. I will use PowerPoint to share my information to my class as well.

• When I visited the sandbox the tool that was my favorite was the 3D crayons. These would be very useful in my classroom. This 3D crayon made a little drawing that I would normal do on a piece of paper, come to life, by actually creating an object in 3D. I created and flower and I heart. For my first grade class I could use this to teach them shapes. They could each 3D draw different shapes and pass them around to learn the different shapes.
