I think UEN will be a great resource to use in my classroom and for my first lesson plan. For my lesson plan, it's so convenient that the structure and the format of the lesson plan are already built into UEN. I love that you just have to fill it in as you go, and just create a lesson about a topic. I love technology for this exact reason, because it makes things we have to do as teachers so much easier.
I'm really excited to use Pioneer Library. I love that there are so many resources to use right there all together. I think the news websites and Preschool Pioneer will be the resources I will definitely use the most. I'm doing a duel major-Early Childhood Education and Elementary Education-so I know I will use the preschool resource. I really haven't had to develop a lot of in depth lesson plans, so I think this will help me so much while I'm learning how to create lesson plans.
I will use these same resources once I am a teacher and needing to find information in my classroom. I think it'll be so cool to continue to develop lesson plans. I think it'll motivate me to develop new, exciting lesson plans instead of always using the lessons plans that I've used the year before. I will also definitely use the Wimba classroom management chat feature. I always loved when we would have guest speakers in class. It just made the day more interesting and it broke up the monotony of the normal school day. Now, it's not even essential that the guest speaker is in the classroom, they can be anywhere in the world. I think this is so neat, and a very, very cool way to show children how advanced and global technology really is.
