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.

I agree--it's very exciting to find new resources! Also, I liked how you mentioned that it has the capability to be completely electronic, although you can print it when you need to. I think this will be especially from an editing standpoint. Editing lesson plans is so much easier on the computer than by hand, with white-out and erasers.
ReplyDeleteI'm all about free too!
ReplyDeleteI am also excited to try out the lesson plan option on UEN. I also love the movie clips on emedia. This site is so cool!
ReplyDeleteI also like how there are lesson plan options on this website. There are so many resources that we have! And the fact that it is free is a huge plus!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you! I love how there is so much info and your fingertips....it is a great place to get what you need to teach.
ReplyDeletehaving an all-electronic workflow is nice....it helps organizationally challenged people like me be more organized. and it helps you all avoid having to attempt to decipher my atrocious handwriting. I'm glad you like the UEN site.
