Week Four

IN CLASS

We looked at the IDEAL website (http://www.ideal.azed.gov/) which is provided to every public school in Arizona for free. I most definitely will be using this teacher site in my future career. The website had two major characteristics that I found extremely helpful. First, it had an announcements page which listed education-based activities and events around the state (i.e.: the Declaration of Independence will be at the State Capitol Building next week!). Second, it provided access to a great deal of resources for teachers both for classroom and professional development. Examples of the resources include: assessments, primary sources, lesson plans, examples/explanations of performance objectives, and professional resources.

POST CLASS
There were no assigned readings for this week; we completed the first part of the copyright module on BlackBoard in its stead.
