Blog Post 7

I visited a high school AP Psychology and AP World History teacher's website. She is also the sponsor for the NHS, Rho Kappa, and SOAR. Her home page included links to the other pages, as well as some photos . The other pages were titled About me, Contact me, Blackboard, AP Psychology, AP Psychology Textbook, AP Psychology Study Videos, AP Modern World History, AP Modern World History Study Videos, NHS, Rho Kappa, and SOAR. Blackboard was the only page where login information was required.

I think I will use technology to take attendance, create lesson plans, convey material, and email students, parents, teachers, and administrators. I will most likely use whichever software the school uses to do the majority of these tasks. I will use gmail, powerpoint, and word as often as I can. I hope to become more familiar with other online tools for teacher productivity, but I think I need to learn more about online tools and teacher productivity before I can do so.  

My experience working with PB works was slightly complicated. When I first started out with the platform, I felt as though it was unaesthetic, hard to use, and difficult to learn. While working through assignment 2, I became more familiar with the format and functions, however I am only more confident regarding those specific functions. I still feel as though the website is unaesthetic and needlessly busy, but I think I would be confident using it again, if the task involved using the functions of the website we had to use for assignment 2.
