Tools to use in the Classroom

I plan to use technology tools as well as the traditional tools in my classroom.I plan to use the computer and the internet for many activities.I will have a class blog to help parents stay connected and to teach students about blogging.I plan to connect with other classrooms through blogging to create internet pen pals.I will use goggle documents to create spreadsheets for grades and class list.I plan to use the internet as a tool to take the students on virtual tours of educational sites like museums.I plan to use i Tunes as a tool to listen to pod cast and watch educational videos.I plan to have or barrow a microphone to create are own class podcast to put on our class blog.I think this could be an ice breaker activity the first week of school to help the students get to know each other.The students could interview each other.We would use the traditional tools like pencils,scissors, and glue as well.But using technology tools will be an important part of our classroom.
