Web-Based Tools:
A great web-based tool I would use for teaching is called A to Z Teacher Stuff (http://www.atozteacherstuff.com/). It’s built to help teacher’s find internet resources. You can find lesson plans, discussion boards, printable worksheets, download teaching materials, and more. This site is absolutely wonderful, it give tips ranging from Attendance count at lunch to Teaching Strategies. Many tips come from current or past teacher’s experience in situations. One situation is getting students to turn in their homework. The tips give an example of how different teachers used different technique to get student to turn in homework assignments.
My favorite part about this is the help with lesson plans. This will make you time spent on planning for class much easier. The lesson plans are a basic outline of the subject. For instant, if you wanted to teach Math/Algebra, the outline would give an overview, purpose, objective, resources/material, activities and procedures, and then it will tie them all together. Like the name of the site, it has everything a teacher could used to help with teaching students.
I would use Excel to show students how to become more creative by added color to the text, background, and individual boxes. Also, how added a pie chart and enhance the spreadsheet in a great way. Showing students how change certain rows or columns to calculate numbers in specific ways. This would mainly be used for math teaching like balancing a check book. By inputting good formulas in the spreadsheet all you will need to do in add number and have excel do the work for you.
