YETC Again!

Today in the yetc was very fun. We were able to explore and become familiar with the resources we discussed last week. I had alot of fun with the phun website creating different things and adjusting things like the gravity, density and so on. This web site can be very educational in school. This would be a great way to teach about gravity, density, and most things relating to physics. I believe the students would find this site very entertaining and is very educational. I have also listed other websites that we talked about. This website is a great place to find and download free books.

This website is a good place to keep up to date on the latest technology websites for teachers.

This is another good website for teacher resources

It will be exciting to be able to explore all of these websites and get great ideas how to use them in a classroom. Technology will be very important for my future students if they are to keep up and be competive with the rest of the world.

Today we were went to the yetc. It was a very awesome experience. Just listening and seeing what Nathan showed us today, it feels like a new door has been opened and my abilities and resources to teach have expanded greatly. The thing that i found the most interesting was the phun website that used the laws of physics. I know that i will use this website alot in my future. There are so many resources that are for free. Just all of the online books that i would be able to download or video clips that are on subjects that i may be teaching at the time. This is very good because of the limited funds that we have. Just becoming familiar with this technology will able me to teach bettter and reach more students. It will be very helpful to take the time and explore more of the resources that are out there that teachers can use to help teach. YES it would be a very good experience to come back to the yetc and explore the resorces here and become familiar with them.
