I decided to go to the website for Astoria Park elementary school. I went to the link on the website for "teacher websites". Most teachers had a page for the school calendar, student resources, announcements, and a meet the teacher page. Some teacher had unique pages but they all seemed very similar. I assume these pages are mostly for the parents because most elementary school kids wouldn't go to their school website.

 I see my self using all sorts of technology in the classroom. I see my self using Microsoft Word a lot as a teacher. I will use it to create newsletters for parents, create tests for my students, and write my lesson plans. I also want to use programs like Classdojo that can help with classroom management. I think something like a class website with links to homework, newsletters, and a school calendar would help me interact with the parents to ensure their child's success.

I thought the Promethean board was probably the most useful classroom tool in the sandbox. The Promethean board allows for an interactive classroom environment  and can be useful for all types of learners. I think it is the most practical thing a teacher can have the classroom. A 3D printer would be cool but it does not have as many benefits as the Promethean board.
