How/Why will I use UEN in my future classroom?
First off, I love the idea of linking UEN resources all over my class website. I can link students/parents to the core curriculum and have them know exactly what my students will be learning. This could potentially avoid some of the "why are we doing this?" questions.
My content area is Language Arts. The Pioneer Library, specifically the SIRS, will help my students with the research they will need to do for those pesky research papers that yes, I will be assigning. There are also the masterpiece theater videos in the eMedia that I just might give extra credit for watching and writing reports comparing the video to the book. I do love my Masterpiece Theater!
I enjoyed the interactives, in fact I spent too much time checking out the games. I expect that my students could potentially enjoy them at least half as much as I did. They will be gaining some useful practice and be able to do it on their own time and at their own speed. Check out the BuzzWord game, it's a blast!
I will be keeping track of lesson plans that I create/use on the UEN website. It is so organized. I will be able to create lessons tied directly to the core and track what parts of the core have been covered. I will also be able to share them with other teachers. I hope others will be like minded and we can all give our students the best opportunity to succeed.
