Many school websites do not have class pages for each class. Most have the home page, about us, the mission, faculty & staff, calendar, resources and contact information tabs. As a public member, I can see all of the cool things that the school has done this year including honoring 9/11 with local heroes and a butterfly garden. St. Lucie is an elementary school grades K-5 in Fort Pierce, FL. I can see the teacher names for each grade but they aren't linked to class website.
I believe that I will definately use technology in my classroom. As a hopeful Special Education teacher, I have to be careful what I use so that I don't overstimulate my students. Teachers are always attending educational classes and workshops. I plan on using a class website in order to help parents stay up to date on what we are doing. I also plan on using Kahoot and Edmodo in my classroom.
I loved the Tech Sandbox. It was definately cool seeing a 3D pen and printer in action becasue I plan on using them in my classroom so that the students can feel the objects not just hear about them. It will also help with any of my students who are visually impaired. The material used with both the 3D pen and printer can be built up making it tall enough so that the students can describe what exaclty it is.
I like your idea of using the 3D pen and printer for your students, particularly ESE students. Students with disabilities, particularly learning disabilities, need concrete examples to help anchor information, and then they can fly.
