I would love to gather some of the resources to use in a future classroom. I believe the password protected area of the YETC website, will be especially useful. I feel that I should gather as many materials as I can now, before I am graduated and can no longer take part in these wonderful opportunities. I am excited to watch some of the training videos. I love to watch how real classrooms are putting the principles that we discuss into use. Also, I am really enthused about the clip art collection. I feel I have wasted so much time searching for clip art on the web. Now I have a resource, that will narrow down my search field, so I can spend more time on the content parts of my lesson, rather than the supporting pictures.
I also really liked learning about the add on's. Especially the video downloader. I never knew that something like this existed. I think this is an excellent resource. I would love to be able to create a digital library of videos for my future classroom. I so often times find videos, that I would love to save. However instead of saving the url, I now know that I will be able to save the videos to a thumb drive.
I would also love to obtain a show, from Microvision for my classroom. I believe this would be such a useful resource. This thing is so neat. I would specifically use this piece of equipment in place of a general overhead projector. Not only is it tiny, so it doesn't take up useful classroom space, but you can upload anything from your computer or i pod and have it at your fingertips. This device will project on anything, not just a white screen. Even if we were on the bus going on a field trip, I could bring this piece of equipment, and share in a learning expeience with the children on the way to our destination.
I am excited to use all of the new resources that I have learned about today!
