Web Page

I enjoyed creating my teacher web page. I thought is was fun to make for the most part, but I did get confused on somethings. I kept messing up the side bar for some reason. Once I figured out how to do it, then it was not that hard. I think this is a great idea for each teacher to do, then parents can keep up with what is going on in the classroom. Students can also see what the coming up events are, and look at something they may have forgot. I also like how we did a resource page, and linked sites for the students.
My site is: http://sites.google.com/site/ainsleyvice/

Turn It In

Turn it in is a very interesting site to use to help teachers catch plagarism. I found it very easy to use and submit work into. I like how it can tell you the percentage of the essay that is copied exactly from another source. I did not find any trouble in using this web site. I found it to be useful. My first essay was 98% plagiarized, and my second essay was not. I plan to use this site in my future classroom.

Web Tools

Out of the three assignments, I would have to say that the quiz would have to be my favorite. I thought it was easy to use, and I think it would be a great tool for a teacher to use in their classroom. I also enjoyed creating the rubric. I think it would be useful for teachers, and help keep them organized. I think that TrackStar is a great tool to use so that students are able to search the internet, but also will not be allowed on any inappropriate websites while at school. All of these tools will be handy in the classroom. It is also helpful to help create new ideas for teachers to use in their classrooms. I plan to use all of these web tools in my future classroom.

Google Group

I think google group is a great program to use if somone needs to work on a group project. I found it to be a little confusing at times, but that was because I have never used it or anything like it. Iworked through the difficulties I had, and shared information with my group. It was difficult to stay in touch with each group member, but that is because we all have different busy schedules and are all on the computer at different times. This is usually a problem I find with any group project. We all worked hard and completed the project on time though. I thought the group assignment turned out great, and I plan to use this tool in the future.
