Websites

We have learned about the usefulness of websites and what all they have to offer. It was really interesting to create our own classroom website. https://sites.google.com/site/mrspickelsclassroom/home This is my website that I have created for my classroom. The daily schedule is my actual schedule that I am doing at Alcoa Elementary School during my internship. I thought it was really neat to incorporate this into my website. I think that most schools have websites and offer teachers to have their own so I was really excited to learn how to set a website up and also add the resources that I was able to use. Website are really interesting when you know how to access them, search, and use the materials that they offer. TPTE has taught me a lot of interesting uses for websites. We use the internet on a daily basis and sometime we don't realize how many websites we really access when we are checking emails, getting of facebook, and even blogging. I also discovered that there are a lot of FREE websites that Google offers. They have picasa for photos, blogger for blogging, gmail for email. and they even have google sites where people can create their own website for free. I was just amazed with all the things we were able to do with websites. They are fun, interactive and sometime very interesting!
