As someone who is learning how to be a teacher, I really appreciate it when I find new resources. Today I learned about a website called UEN and I think it's a very good source of information. On UEN, I can make my own calendar, look at the weather and look up different information to help me plan lessons or find supporting, background information. There are premium services and all sorts of other things I can use.
I think that UEN will be useful when I have my own classroom because it opens lots of opportunities. I'll be able to download short movies to help teach my students about certain things without paying for it and I can even use it to make my own lesson plans. The lesson plans will be made completely by me and will have everything I need in them. They will include technology usage, group work, assessment plans and so forth. I'm excited to use UEN because I'll be completely electronic, though I will be able to print my lesson plans any time I need or want to. I think that UEN will be a very useful thing to use in the future and am excited to learn how to use it.

Using Blogging
I think that blogging can be a very useful thing. As a teacher, it can be used to get advice from fellow teachers and to tell them things that work for you in the classroom. You can also use it to keep in touch with the parents of your students. You can help them know how their children are doing in school and when different assignments are due and things like that. When I looked at the examples, one of them had a teacher who had blogs talking about the different assignments for her students and I think that can be very useful, especially when students get sick or something.
As an undergrad, I think that it's a very good idea to look at other teacher's blogs because I'm still learning how to teach. By looking at their blogs, I can come up with new ideas of how to teach materials and I can become motivated. Sometimes teaching can be discouraging, but by looking at other people's blogs, I think you can get lots of positive feedback.
