#4 - My Future Back to School Night

Strangely enough I was just arguing the other day with a friend that Power Point has never been of any use to me.  Yes, this project was done in GoogleDocs, but it's the same thing.  Now I think I owe him a drink or something.

This was really the first time in this class that I've been able to see in a tangible way just how much the new technologies apply to the new classroom.  This was a scenario that was easy to get my head around, and gave this kind of application a practical use.  I can imagine needing a way to reach the parents and even students that, for whatever reason, couldn't come to me for my lesson, and this is an easy and accessible way to do that.

Of course, it wasn't the easiest thing to imagine myself in the shoes of an actual teacher just yet.  I thought about all of the restrictions and time constraints and budget limitations that real teachers have to deal with, and then I just ignored them completely.  Now you're more likely to find my classroom on an old ABC sitcom than in New Jersey, but at least it was kind of fun to put together.  Let me know what you think.
