Competency 13.4: Use appropriate local, state, and national services or resources to meet diverse learning needs through technology.
Context
I have compiled several lesson plans for teachers using three different websites from the Internet that I can use in my future classroom. One of these websites is the ERIC database: http://ericir.syr.edu. “ERIC is a nationwide system of Clearinghouses and support agencies designed to help educators, librarians, and the general public keep up to date on education-related issues.” I also used Internet Explorer and a search engine, www.dogpile.com, to search for other lesson plans. These sites include: www.lessonplanspage.com and www.atozteacherstuff.com. I searched these sites to find a lesson I could use in my classroom, and then I printed them out.
Impact
As a future teacher I need as many resources as possible. The internet is a great source to find information for my students and for myself. I now know three websites to use to find a plethora of information for my classroom.
Alignment
I have accessed a national
database to search for lesson plans to use in my classroom. I have
met competency 13.4. I can now use this database throughout my career
as a teacher for information and suggestions for my classes.
