Reflection
I feel that a lot of the information that we are learning may be irrelevant for the ages that I plan on teaching. I feel that this information is much more for older children who can understand was the Internet is, how it works, how to troubleshoot and so forth. The information is great for me to learn as a teacher but I just feel that some of it is not needed. I really enjoyed the IMOVIE even though mine wasn't as great as I wanted, I did learn many different ways to use that program and I think if I have a MAC in my classroom that I would really learn how to perfect my skills in that area. I feel that the most important thing that I have learned in the this class thus far is how to search the Internet to find beneficial websites to help me with lesson plans, pictures, videos, and much more.
Internet Use in the Elementary Classroom
Internet Use in Elementary Classroom
Some of the pros of using internet in the early elementary classroom is that it will help find beneficial information on the topics that you are looking up or teaching to the classroom. Also, the internet has many websites that have different kinds of lesson plans on and this would help if you did not know how to teach a subject. Also, the internet has many websites that have pictures, videos, and music that can help support your lesson plan. Some of the cons would be that you may not be as creative because you have all your information online. I think that internet is a very good thing for the classroom and I believe that it will help support the lessons and the internet as all sorts of information on everything. The internet has many reliable resources to better help support any ideas.

My favorite educational website so far is http://www.unitedstreaming.com/ because it has so many different things you can use such as full length videos, video clips, music, pictures, and different kinds of careers. 
An example is to the left of me. This is a still image of a video that http://www.unitedstreaming.com had and this was a video that talk about the earth. I think this is a overall really helpful website.

What Kindergartens need to know..
I think that is it really an accomplishment that the state came out with standards for kindergarteners. I think this will help the teachers to know what to teach and how to teach it. It will be much easier to have lesson plans be made. I think standards are good for teachers because it allows them to have an agenda and to build the child's knowledge for specific criteria. I think that it is really cool how they also came out with the guide to help the teachers explain the skills and how to teach it because it is a new system and teachers may not be used to it. I think that standards allow their to be more options because it lets you know what you have to teach but it allows you to incorporate other skills into those lessons.
