I chose to examine John G. Riley Elementary School in Leon County, Tallahassee, Florida. The teacher website I chose was 2nd grade teacher Natasha Cooper. Her home page is super informative about how to use different technology used in the classroom such as remind, classlink, and Microsoft teams. You can access a meet the teacher page with a picture and brief background about Ms. Cooper's teaching career. Under student resources, she includes a link to student websites. Under announcements, she listed all distance learning guides for parents and students to download. Finally, she includes a class calendar.
I think technology is extremely beneficial for teachers to conduct class more efficiently by getting more done in the time allotted. One teacher productivity tool I will use is ClassDojo. ClassDojo is a classroom management program designed to reward students behaving properly according to the teacher's expectations. I will use it as an incentive to get students to behave appropriately. In my student teaching internship, the teacher used ClassDojo and it worked effectively with her students.
Working on PBworks was relatively straightforward and easy to navigate. Although I believe the design of the website is outdated, the programming is modern. I like how collaborative the website was but that was only beneficial because I trusted my group members to not change my page without my permission. I could use PBworks in a similar format as this group project. Especially, when students may not meet face to face, PBworks is an excellent platform to collaborate.

Hi! I think these class pages make it super easy for students and parents to stay in the loop with things going on in class and have the ability to keep up. I also agree that PBWorks could use some updating, but it is a great platform to collaborate on!
