Lesson Plans for Educators :: Teaching Technology Internet Essays

Lesson Plans for EducatorsI will be graduating with a Liberal Studies Major. I will hopefully be teaching in September but I have a dilemma, I am afraid of non having enough lessons to get me started. My other fear is not having free rein lessons to teach. I work at an Elementary school now and there is a teacher that I work with that doesnt know the meaning of fun activities that sight yield great knowledge from them. I will never forget my favorite teacher, Mr. Protho. He loved making our class a fun and excite place to be. We would do Shakespeare plays throughout the year. He could take any subject and make it fun. Still to this day I call and ask him for advice when making lesson plans for school. in that location are many resources where one who is becoming a teacher can reign. There are books, magazines, in-services, seminars, other mint and of course the Internet. The Internet is something that I was kind of afraid of because of the fact that it was foreign to me. New territory is something that frightens me. I have used the Internet for reasons such as research for papers but not for pleasure. I have heard a lot of controversy about the Internet and how people pretend they are someone else and fool children and other people whom they are chatting with. For this reason, I am quite hesitant to try talking to people in the chat rooms. I am hoping that the Internet can provide me with lesson plans and other activities that I can use in the classroom. Trying to connect to Netscape from home was very difficult. I had many problems connecting and no one to ask. I gave up and ran to school to use the computers there. The computer finally worked at CSUN. I used the engine server named Yahoo. I sheathd educational lesson plans. It gave me 33 files. I began searching them to find the one with the most lessons to choose from. The first couple of them were not very helpful. I began to think that this is not going to be easy topic and peradventure I should switch topics. But I told myself be patient and continue looking. I finally decided to go around the topic and just type LAUSD which gave me the web site. I entered the web site and found a lot of information about the LAUSD system but no lesson plans.
