Stay connected to see all sorts of bumblings of a computer illiterate student trying to learn to use technology.

Since I will soon be a teacher, I decided to find websites and blogs that will help become a good teacher. One thing that I think will be difficult about being a teacher is preparing lessons. I have already prepared lessons in an education class I am taking and I have found that lesson preparation can be very time-consuming. I was able to find a website though that should help me prepare lessons faster. That site is Classroom Lesson Plans: Helping Teachers Teach History.

I expect that classroom management is something I will struggle with. For that reason I found multiple sites that discuss classroom management strategies. Those sites are Effective Classroom Management, My Classroom Management, and Top Five Classroom Management Strategies.

I also found some other websites that should just help me in general as a teacher. Those websites are So You Want To Teach, Teach Effectively, and TeacherTube. TeacherTube in particular, looked like an interesting website to keep up to date on. TeacherTube basically posts videos that gives teachers ideas of how they can teach better and ideas of lessons. One of the videos I looked at even was on how to incoporate technology into the classroom.

I am minoring in Computer Science Teaching as well so I wanted to find a website on how to teach Computer Science. I found Computer Science Teacher. This is a blog written by a man who taught Computer Science for 8 years. In it, he gives advice to other Computer Science teachers. I think this site should be particularly helpful because the education classes I am taking have mostly been focusing on how to teach history instead of how to teach my minor Computer Science.

I am subscribing to one of my group member's blogs. The other person in my group doesn't have their blog link on the classroom website. I am also subscribed to my sister's blog and my parents blog.
