I chose to view the class page of Miss Herlihy.
She works at Saint Bridget School and is a 3rd grade teacher.

She has a masters in elementary education and has a wonderful class page set up. On her class page you can see about 10 different tabs. Some of the tabs include her bio, homework, a weekly schedule, the curriculum, a school calendar, and some resources. She include picture that go along with some of her links to make her page appealing and fun. This page specifically stood out to me because of the fun energy of her page

I will forsure be taking notes on how to make my class page as useful as this one. Parents can be up to date with what is going on in their childs educational life. I would definitely use technology to enhance my teaching career. Using spreadsheets and google docs is a good way to connect with your students. Having your own teach email is VERY important to stay in contact with the parents of your students and I definitely plan to have one and use it to my advantage, 

The Sandbox is an incredible place! I have had the pleasure of going to the FSU Sandbox twice. I think everybody finds the 3D pens amazing and intriguing. I know I did! Another thing I loved when touring the sandbox was the amazing improvements they made to smartboards. I remember using smartboards in high school and there was always a problem. After getting to use the smartboards myself at the sandbox, I can say I am amazed at the improvements. I would one hundred percent use a smartboard like the ones at the Sandbox in my classroom. They are fun and interesting to the students and encourage them to wanna learn and participate.
