Google Sites

For this assignment, I had to create a web page on Google Sites. I created my page inputting lesson plans and materials that I created or obtained throughout my education at FSU. I will use my google site to organize and store my resources that I can use within my classroom. I had a difficult time deciding on which template would meet the needs of my web page. I chose a template under school and education titled schoolhouse rock. The template is somewhat plain, but it looked as if I could organize my resources successfully in it. I only added a few of my resources so far. I have several more to add in, and this is a handy tool because I'm always saying that I need a way to organize all of my teaching material and lesson plans from school. Well here we go! I got the hook up now! So far, from this course I added my resume, rubric, my solar system youtube video, and my solar system quiz. I also added another rubric, an art lesson plan, and a music lesson plan that I created in other courses. I'm glad I learned about this new feature. It was simple once I figured out how to do things. I did have difficulties inserting google docs at first, and also editing the sidebar. Fortunately, I figured them out. The main thing with my site is organizing my resources which may be time consuming, but worth it in the end.

In my opinion this assignment goes along with Teaching Standard Function 4A and 4B. I gained new knowledge based on professional learning by working with technology and improving my skills to work diligently in digital society. I am not only organizing my materials and resources for myself, but by sharing my work publicly other educators may gain new ideas to incorporate into their classrooms. They can also post comments on my page that may influence my teachings. Therefore, I am collaboratively working within global society. I am also able to view other educator's sites and comment on their pages.
