UEN

UEN is a great resource. I think it is helpful in a lot of ways and will be a great program to work with and learn more about. I couldn't believe the web cam and how it works!! That is so great to have and to use. It is great how easy it will be to work with the lesson plans and to be able to be more organized in our planning. There are a lot of useful ideas that will be great to work with and help out a lot. The website also has a calender which will be helpfult to be able to plan out and see exactly what is going on each week! I know as a teacher this will be very helpful to me in my future!!

in the great world of blogging!


I think blogs are great!!  I have thought a lot about how a blog would be great for a classroom!  It would be a great way for parents and children to get on and have reminders and let the parents see what is going on inside the classroom and what also needs to be done outside of the classroom!  It would be a great way to keep in contact with parents and let them have more of a feel for what is going on weekly or however often you posted instead of twice or three times a year at parent teacher conference time.  It would save a lot of time typing up notes and things to send home with the kids and that way it would never get lost.  Hopefully by keeping the parents involved with what is going on it would also be a great journal for them to go back and look at to see what went on in their classroom that year!!
